Friends - New Music "Introducing"

Here's a tip for you budding musical trend-setters - follow the Norman Records single and album of the week religiously as it often digs out some real gems. I was introduced to Zaize Von Einem Stern exactly this way; next up is this weeks current single of the week, Friends with their release Friend Crush. Released on Lucky Numbers (the same label as Darwin Deez whom the band have recently been on tour).

Thankfully there is absolutely no connection with the US sitcom that ran about eight years past its due date but a new band from Brooklyn, maybe they've taken their name from the suburb they practised or something. I've no idea but I don't really care, their sound is pretty cool. "Friend Crush" is a slight twist on the typical infectious tropical guitar pop doing the rounds at the moment, with a luscious and charming vocal delivery that sounds like it could be straight from Scandinavia. B-Side "Feeling Dank" has some gorgeous harmonies and hand-clapping too. Nice.
