Our Take

Ah, FRIENDSHIP's latest album "Undercurrent" is a mesmerizing journey of sonic exploration. This experimental duo truly pushes the boundaries of traditional music genres, blending elements of post-rock, jazz, and avant-garde to create a mind-bending soundscape that is both intriguing and captivating.

From the moment you press play, you are immediately transported into a world of swirling guitars, intricate drum patterns, and ethereal vocals that effortlessly glide across each track. The opening track, "Ripple", sets the tone for the album with its dreamy atmosphere and hypnotic melodies that draw you in and refuse to let go.

As the album progresses, FRIENDSHIP continues to surprise and delight with their unconventional song structures and bold sonic choices. Tracks like "Drift" and "Cascade" showcase the duo's ability to seamlessly shift between musical styles, keeping the listener on their toes and engaged throughout.

But it's on the closing track, "Undercurrent", where FRIENDSHIP truly shines. This epic 10-minute journey is a masterclass in musical storytelling, with its soaring crescendos and textured layers of sound that build to a cathartic climax that leaves you breathless and wanting more.

Overall, "Undercurrent" is a bold and ambitious album that solidifies FRIENDSHIP as one of the most exciting acts in the music scene today. So grab your headphones, close your eyes, and let yourself be swept away by the mesmerizing sounds of FRIENDSHIP's latest masterpiece. You won't regret it.

About the artist

Friendship

Hailing from the eclectic music scene of Brooklyn, the elusive duo FRIENDSHIP is anything but your average indie band. Comprising of two musicians who go simply by the pseudonyms "Friend" and "Ship", this enigmatic pair has been making waves with their unique blend of dreamy pop melodies and obscure, experimental sounds. Friendship's music is a sonic journey that defies categorisation, effortlessly weaving together influences from lo-fi bedroom pop, electronica, and even a touch of 90s shoegaze. Their tracks are a mesmerising tapestry of lush synths, haunting vocals, and intricate percussion, creating a sound that is at once ethereal and otherworldly. But don't be fooled by their ethereal soundscapes - FRIENDSHIP's lyrics are often dark and introspective, exploring themes of love, loss, and the search for meaning in a chaotic world. With lines like "I am drowning in the ocean of your memory" and "We are ghosts in the machine of time", the duo's poetic prowess is undeniable. Their live shows are a sight to behold, with Friend and Ship donning elaborate costumes and masks, creating an air of mystery and intrigue that captivates audiences from start to finish. Whether they're performing in a small, intimate venue or a packed festival stage, FRIENDSHIP never fails to mesmerise with their hypnotic sound and enigmatic stage presence. In a music industry saturated with cookie-cutter pop acts, FRIENDSHIP stands out as a breath of fresh air - a duo unafraid to push boundaries and defy expectations. With their dreamy soundscapes, poetic lyrics, and captivating live performances, FRIENDSHIP is a band that is truly in a league of their own. Love them or hate them, one thing's for sure - you won't be able to forget them.
