"New Thing is a conduit for emotions too frenetic to hold on your own. This record is a collection of the first songs I've ever written, after many years of orbiting the music world but denying myself my own musicianship. Many of these tracks were born of anxiety—from my turning to a guitar to externalize (and organize) a sense of chaos that otherwise felt trapped inside me. We recorded the bulk of it with a live band as a means to maintain the raw energy at the center of the record. What results is a time capsule for a year of intense personal expansion in my life—and the layers of warmth, wonder, sensitivity, and sharpness that come with growing." – Avery Friedman

Having frequented bills with artists such as Sister. and Dead Gowns for the past year, Avery Friedman has consistently left an impression on those that have caught her sets, oftentimes performing solo, creating a space in which her vivid imagery and tender melodies greet new ears with welcome and understanding. Produced by James Chrisman (Sister.) and with contributions from Felix Walworth (Told Slant, Florist), “Flowers Fell” plays to the in-between moments as Friedman defines new beginnings. - The Ugly Hug

Interview confirmed - Amy Albinson The Line of Best Fit

Awesome! I'm going to pitch this one to No Depression. Otherwise, I'll earmark it for Rainbow Rodeo. - Rachel Cholst No Depression / Rainbow Rodeo

I would love to premiere the March single - Caleb Campbell Under the Radar Magazine

I love what I’ve heard so far. - Tom Blake KLOF Mag

There is a whole lot for our head to consider on Photo Booth, a psychedelic rampage of ideas that is marked by a singer who rises above the percussive din to offer contrast of the kind that will have some, including me, palpitating. It is the sheer breath of innovation, the degree of shapeshifting that takes place when Avery Friedman is at the controls that so illuminates. This is how you do experimental while holding onto the widest possible audience, this is insightful stuff that pushes the game forward masterfully. - Kevin Hugger MP3hugger
