I think it was Mike who made an off handed comment about how awesome it would be to have someone like Rakim on the track, and their engineer was like “Oh, I just did a record with him. Want me to give him a call?”
Friendly Fire is like a OML track with the shiny polished screen protector removed
I agree with not putting it on the album, it just doesn’t fit sonically - but as with the rest of the album, Chester is on point
It also says “Producer: Brad Delson” when Mike and Brad produced it, “Unknown” for a number of people, and crucially, “Auto-generated by YouTube” which means most of that data is based on the wider OML sessions
So uh, I just looked back at the email they sent out…
The “Follow” link is in an oval like the years on that “Papercuts” promo…
