Friendly Fires 'Your Love' (People In The Sky, 2006) (mp3 Download)

A rather spiky cover of the Frankie Knuckles House classic from an early Friendly Fires release (the 'Photobooth' 10-inch).

A nicely metallic-edged bass is the dominant force in the record, abetted by some serrated guitar attack and breathless vocals. The drums drive the track on against the sequencer line that carries the keynote melody from the original but is then submerged in waves of vocal and guitar.

I can imagine this sending people over the edge live. Definitely in thrall to the early LCD Soundsystem stuff, with the dynamics suggesting the energy and rush of singles like 'Paris'.

Very, very nice and much more direct and infectious than new track 'Live These Days Tonight'.
