Friendly Fires have revealed the title of their much-anticipated forthcoming album.

"It sounds a lot more pretentious than it actually is,It's named after an island in an Aldous Huxley novel….on the island there are these parrots that are trained to whisper uplifting messages to the people on the island," Ed Macfarlane told 6Music.

He added: "The album is abuot enjoying the here and now."
