tape Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 From Stereogum: Quote Portland, Maine trio Weakened Friends have been around for a couple years now, and in that time they’ve amassed a couple tapes and caught the eye of J Mascis, who played on last year’s one-off “Hate Mail.” That song’s included on their forthcoming debut album, Common Blah, which is being announced today alongside new single “Blue Again.” Both album and song title hint at the sort of internal despair that the band is trying to fight against with their fidgety rock music. “Blue Again” in particular is about a bad feeling that you can’t seem to get enough of. “Blue/ It’s just a feeling I get with you/ I wanna go there again,” Sonia Sturino sings in a strained yowl. “I’ll know more about you when its over.” The band responds to Sturino’s rearview mirror hopefulness with a chorus that soars and sags in equal measure. The track comes attached to a video featuring the band playing in a massive old church house with a lot of nooks and crannies to hide away in. They end up putting on lamb masks and black hoodies, which gives them adequate cover to set about destroying the place. direct PO indie exclusive blue vinyl and t-shirt bundle: https://weakenedfriends.bandcamp.com/ Bull Moose: standard vinyl: https://www.bullmoose.com/p/27838136/weakened-friends-common-blah-standard-vinyl indie exclusive blue vinyl: https://www.bullmoose.com/p/27838137/weakened-friends-common-blah-blue-vinyl-indie-exclusive-blue-vinyl BM exclusive pink vinyl /250: https://www.bullmoose.com/p/27838138/weakened-friends-common-blah-pink-vinyl-bm-exclusive-bull-moose-exclusive-pink-vinyl-ltd-to-250 lethalenforcer 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tape Posted August 22, 2018 Author Share Posted August 22, 2018 (edited) Seriously, I'm super excited to post this!! They're friends of mine and their first LP is coming out on Don Giovanni after two self-released EPs. They gave me a test press a few weeks ago and it rips so hard. Also last fall they put out this song featuring J Mascis on lead guitar noodling, which is on the album: Edited August 22, 2018 by tape Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
