Friendly Fires seem tailor-made for the Klaxons-hiatus vacuum, another young band of British guys who pull from a renovated period in dance music (disco, not '90s rave) and assemble the whole thing with guitars and some live drums that sound like they were borrowed from Bloc Party's 2002 practice space. Consider them England's four-year-late answer to the Rapture with a kid who worships Devo and Peter Gabriel out front. "Jump In The Pool" is about as tropical as their self-titled debut for XL gets; some bongo taps and washy synths cushion enough stacked "ahhhs" to make even the Hot Chip guys blush. Aeroplane, the Belgian duo who've cosmicized everyone from Cut Copy to Grace Jones, have also remixed their single "Paris," roping in Au Revoir Simone for the vocal and adding some piano stabs in between that sound like they've been injected with helium. Next stop, NME cover.

Sounds like: The Rapture, Cut Copy, Hot Chip
