Indie-dance duo Friendly Fires have shared their new single, “Gold Dust,” the third preview taken from their long-awaited fourth studio album, Dig Deeper, set for release on 15th January 2027 via LAB Records.
Following previous singles “Magnetic” and BBC Radio 6 Music-playlisted “Lose All Your Friends,” “Gold Dust” arrives ahead of the pair’s first full-length studio album since 2019’s Inflorescent. The release also follows an intimate, sold-out warm-up show at London’s Moth Club last month, where the band debuted new material alongside classic tracks such as “Jump In The Pool,” “Paris,” and “Hawaiian Air.”
To mark the album’s arrival, Friendly Fires will embark on a ten-date UK album release tour, kicking off at Kingston’s Circuit on Thursday, 14th January 2027.
Reflecting on the romantic and patient themes behind “Gold Dust,” the band shared:
In Japan Koi No Yokan means the premonition of love – an unspoken sense that this person will matter greatly to your life, even if the romance has yet to bloom. But what if you have never met this person? They exist in your dreams and waking visions, but they feel entirely real and so familiar. You know this is something you will have to wait for, totally out of your control. To ever realise it would be as precious as finding gold dust. Something as rare as true love has to be worth waiting for.
