Through all their past unpolished, lo-fi recordings, we always knew that Pill Friends were holding plenty of potent songs among their collection of downer-pop. On their latest EP fade into nothing, the group headed into the studio this past August with Kyle Pulley at Headroom, fleshing out older favorites like "klonopin" and "promethazine," giving them a sheen that had not been seen/heard in any of the band’s previous releases. Opener and new track "samael" seems to glow like a beacon of light guiding us towards Pill Friends’ future sound. Maybe now more folks may finally start to realize how rad this project really is.
