Friendship- "Free Association"

Friendship’s Dan Wriggins spins “Free Association” into a lo-fi love anthem, weaving Kath Bloom’s rustic quips and a snatched David Byrne lyric into a wild quilt of Mellotron sax, synth bass, and ramshackle guitars that hums like a thrift-store jukebox on the fritz. Off their upcoming Caveman Wakes Up, the Philly four-piece remixes their twangy roots with flute loops and Motown beats, layering James Tate-style verses into a sound that’s both a basement brainstorm and a restless nod to music’s madcap heart.
