AVERY FRIEDMAN
ARTIST DISCOVERED
Ever since Avery Friedman released her debut album, her songs have been a constant in my life, and quite a few of them have become really special to me. After finally getting my hands on the vinyl, there was really only one thing left on my wishlist: hearing those songs live. And it looks like that’s finally happening. Avery is heading over to Europe for a few shows in November, including a stop in Berlin. In the meantime, she’s just released a brand-new track called You Move, along with a little hint that her second album is coming in 2027. Plenty to look forward to, and I’m already pretty excited about all of it. I’ve written about her debut LP New Thing over HERE.
KILLER SONG MOMENTS
With You Move, I can’t really pick out one particular moment. It’s the way all the different elements come together that makes the song work so well. The slightly distorted guitars and the raspy saxophone blend naturally with the rest of the instrumentation. Sometimes a little off-kilter, deliberately rough around the edges, but never losing its lovely pop sensibility.
FAVORITE LYRIC LINE
Or can a melody be made / from a fracturing, from surrendering (surrendering)?
