Dance-oriented U.K. rockers Friendly Fires have been on these shores off the back of their Pala album in recent times, and that jaunt included a stop at the KCRW studios to perform this version of “Hurting” from that record. This is a typically bubbly song from the band, although it’s odd to see them having to perform it with such restraint in the confines of a cramped studio. But the essence of the song just about comes through, and singer Ed Macfarlane gets to demonstrate what an impressive falsetto he’s got. Shame about that shirt, though.
