Friendly Fires have confirmed that their third album is on its way.

The indie rock band are currently making a comeback after an uneventful five year break since 2013. The band have released a new single recently called “Love Like Waves” and have sold out their tour dates for the year.

The question on the minds of fans is whether the comeback tour is a nostalgia tour or if the band plan to bring out new music. In an interview with NME, frontman Ed Macfarlane confidently confirmed that the latter is the case.

“The new album is 100% in the works. We’ve broken the back of it. We’ve been doing sessions in the studio – we just did one with Paul Epworth, which was great. It’s really fun to just get back in the studio with him, especially because we wrote ‘Jump in the Pool’ together.  It’s just nice to get back to working with him again. We also have a new single which is coming out end of August. It’s our track but it was sort of written with the Disclosure guys.

“Things are coming up ahead and we’re taking it seriously. I want to put out this third record and get on with the next chapter of this band and really smash it this year!”
