Pala

Friendly Fires

A maximalist explosion of tropical percussion and high-gloss indie disco. Shimmering synths and falsetto hooks built for peak summer euphoria.

It's like a tropical vacation in a blender with a disco ball.

An ecstatic, sun-drenched celebration of movement and memory.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The explosion of brass and polyrhythmic percussion at the climax of Live Those Days Tonight.
The shimmering, aquatic synth wash that opens Hawaiian Air before the beat kicks in.
The transition into the bridge of Pala where the vocals stack into a gospel-inflected wall of sound.
