Sean Lennon - Friendly Fire

The smoky, endearingly spooky "Tomorrow" is a cursed lovers' ballad picked up via deep-space transistor radio. Driven by handclaps and acoustic strumming, "Headlights" is most propelled by its gracefully-unfolding vocal harmonies. And a near-unrecognizable psychedelic reworking of Marc Bolan obscurity "Would I Be the One" floats and disperses before the album's final track, and perhaps its most literal, the forlorn and orchestral "Falling Out of Love."

Lennon has also produced a short film for each of the album's tracks, directed by Michele Civetta. The fantastical shorts, which together comprise a conceptual film about betrayal and the failure of love, feature appearances from Lennon and friends including Lindsay Lohan, Bijou Phillips, Asia Argento, Carrie Fisher, Devon Aoki, Jordana Brewster and others.

As for the experience of creating Friendly Fire the album versus Friendly Fire the film Lennon says, "Music is invisible. I spend a lot of time in the studio with my eyes closed. This, thankfully, was not the case with the film."
