Best of 2019 • FRIENDSHIP • Dreamin'




"Friendship are a Philly-based band centered around Dan Wriggins’ narrative pull. His stories tend to be long-winded but confined to small moments, and the rest of the band — currently made up of Peter Gill, Mike Cormier, Evangeline Krajewski, and Jon Samuels — play into this in an unobtrusive but all-encompassing way." - Stereogum

 

Dreamin’, recorded during the summer of 2018 with the help of The Low Anthem’s Jeff Prystowsky, maintains Friendship’s trademark contemplative alt-country sound – its lyrics painting vivid images of human emotions that rock between intimacy and loneliness. But there is also nuanced continuity here; Dreamin’ moves away from the digitally programmed drums and Rhodes piano of the past, in order to adopt a feel that’s somehow starkly warm.

Dunbar Hunter - Act Your Age EP - 2013



Dunbar Hunter is the songwriting project of Jon Kriz and Ian Richards. EP now available for digital download.
This time out Dunbar Hunter's music has evolved so sweetly, I have enjoyed the sounds mucho. The music is subtle and clean, every gesture adding a nuance, pushing it slowly to it's ultimate sleepy climax... then quiet once more, as the build rests itself. The vocals are distant, much more lo-fi than the rest of the production, and the harmonies are wonderful, adding a real flow throughout the EP; 
reminds me of Califone meets Smile Smile.
Well done Dunbar Hunter, for another set of songs that will speak to the ever aging indie hearted dudes out there.
