Brooklyn-based party-pop outfit Friends have announced that they're streaming new track 'Home' ahead of the release of their highly-anticipated debut album 'Manifest!', which is set to hit shelves on June 4th via Lucky Number.
Eclectic and wide-ranging, effortlessly cool and instantly infectious, 'Manifest!' was produced by the band – which consists of singer Samantha Urbani, multi-instrumentalists Lesley Hann, Matthew Molnar, and Nikki Shapiro, and drummer Oliver Duncan – between last summer and this spring with engineer Daniel Schlett at Strange Weather studios in Brooklyn.
The new album contains their breakthrough singles 'Friend Crush' and 'I’m His Girl', and now, with current single 'Mind Control' anointed the Hottest Record in the World by Zane Lowe on Radio 1 and A-listed at 6music, the band will play celebrated slots this weekend at the Field Day and Dot to Dot Festivals. They'll also be headlining Dingwalls in London next Wednesday (6th June) with label-mates Reptar. Wth more shows to come in the summer, Friends look set to make the rest of the year theirs alone.
'Manifest!' is available to pre-order now from Rough Trade (with a bonus disc), iTunes, Amazon and all retailers. For tickets to any of Friends' shows, check the dates and details below.
