Friendly Fires have curated the latest Late Night Tales compilation which is out this week.

Their album features tracks from Stereolab, SBTRK, Cocteau Twins, Slowdive, Olivia Newton John and a Friendly Fires new cover of a rare track by Sting track called Why Don't You Answer?.

It's also traditional for each Late Night Tales album to end with a spoken word track, and this one is read by Benedict Cumberbatch.

Ed and Jack from Friendly Fires told BBC 6 Music how this friendship came about.
