The new release is track 2 on their lauded sophomore album FACILITIES
With the release of their engrossing sophomore album FACILITIES, US duo Friend of a Friend have cemented their status as a fiercely exciting and expansive outfit who’s unique brand of indie-folk adds a tonne of nuance and modern appeal to a genre that can often feel quite dated in its execution.
The track ‘nothingforme’ is one of a litany of highlights on the album, and is one that exemplifies the stirring nature of their sound and the thoughtful and nuanced way that it builds and flows throughout their releases. Claire Molek and Jason Savsani have an excellent grip on their sound, making for lush, atmospheric textures and powerful moments that come both through their captivating narratives and the interesting way that they blend different different sounds and ideas, with the electric and acoustic forming a cohesive balance. The resulting sound is one that feels equal parts intense and soothing, unpredictable yet familiar, and packed full of nuance and charm that truly sets the pair apart, and once the sounnds of ‘nothingforme’ fade away as the track slowly ends, you’ll be already desperate to hear more from them.
