One of my favorite imports from beyond the pond, electro-rockers and newly minted Mercury Prize finalists Friendly Fires, have just the released the video for single “Kiss of Life.”
While I enjoy the song’s light and uplifting melody, what I don’t quite understand is lead singer Ed Macfarlane’s attempt at dancing. Is he showing us how to swim on shore, or paying homage to Shakira in a really British and gangly way? Either way, love the song.
What do you think Music-Mixers? Are you feeling the video? Are Ed’s pelvic thrusts English-sexy, or tropic-awkward? What do you think of FF’s chances for the Mercury?

I freakin love this band. Can’t wait to hear more.
Getting flashbacks of Midnight Oil’s front man.
ok, at first I thought his dancing was absolutely offensive. But by the end of the video, his gangly grooves are kind of cute. I like it.
Nice video, though the lead singer does look he is having an epileptic fit or something similar. However, he probably knows he looks totally spastic dancing like that, and still recorded and released the video. Good for him!
