Friendly Fires were mocked by a gospel choir for their hipster attire after hiring the troupe to accompany vocal parts on their new album, 'Pala'. 

The band recruited the help of the Harlem Gospel Choir to guest on their latest record and frontman Ed MacFarlane told The Sun newspaper that the American singers found their clothes entertaining:

"They took the p*** out of our tight jeans and boots! Fashion is obviously different in Harlem to St Albans."
