    <summary>Although Jump in the pool is currently my favourite track from Friendly Fires&apos; debut album, I&apos;m not sure about the video.  It&apos;s filmed almost entirely in slow-motion, and it seems to resist the up-tempo drums that form the bouncy heartbeat of the song. But the chorus is a lot more soft-flowing and dreamy than it first appears, and the languorous background harmonies do match the visuals.  Anyway - watch it and see for yourself. If you like the song, you&apos;ll love the album. (Myspace: FriendlyFires)</summary>
