Friendship recently shared its new EP F/V Hope via Sleeper Records. From an unguarded point of solitude, this collection of country/folk-flavored songs tap into an emotive position of reflection and internal pensions. The sparse but precisely utilized instrumentation characterizes an aching comfort and dusty-ticking percussion with warm hues of steel guitar, reverberating acoustic strums, etc., all adding detail to the imagery of personal narrative. The album draws you in close and holds you for a little while. (Photo by Abi Reimold)
