Friendly Fires & The Asphodells: “Before Your Eyes”

It’s certainly been quite some time since we’ve heard anything new from Friendly Fires, but now they’re back in action with a double a-side 12″ single, “Before Your Eyes”/”Velo”, a collaboration with production duo The Asphodells, aka Andrew Weatherall and Timothy J Fairplay. The release also marks Friendly Fires’ first new material since 2011’s “Pala”.

Today, we’re treated to a full stream of the record’s A-side cut, “Before Your Eyes”, a nearly eight minutes track of hypnotic bliss. It’s definitely worth a few spins. The “Before Your Eyes” b/w “Velo” will drop on March 31 via Friendly Fires’ own label, Telophase. You can pre-order your 12”here.

Update: Here’s the B-side, “Velo”, for your listening pleasure.
