Dan Wriggins understated baritone accompanied by his narrative closeness feels like walking down a city block after smoking too many cigarettes the night before. Their new album just came out today (!). Excited to listen, the single off of it was one of their most melodic songs yet.
Friendship is probably my favorite band. This record is like hiding in the closet as a kid and smelling your parents’ clothing in the dark. And sometimes whiffs of these songs bring back big memories, some really hard to revisit, some really buzzy and shiny. I dunno if there’s another band that quite captures what it’s like to be alive as Friendship does for me. They are wood grain warmth and waffle syrup sweet. I hope they become your favorite band, too.
My album of the day. Emo-Country rock out of New York. Love the way they sing on here, bursting with emotion, and the rest of the band blankets the vocals so well. Catalina, Bunk Bed, and Giving Head were my favorite tracks
this used to rank low for me in the discog save for their best song (Grounded) appearing on this record but i feel its finally clicking. maybe the most expansive/adventurous indie record of the 90’s
