Before and After
released Nov. 12, 2021 on New Amsterdam Records
“[Friar’s] big ideas concern the rise and fall of human civilization, the tininess of our individual lives, perhaps the meaninglessness of it all? And yet, here are these beautifully crafted pieces that we can immerse our ears into and forget – or release – our grief.”
“It’s the existential void I want to crawl into like a hot bath on a cold night.”
“In the concluding ‘Done Deal’ there is an insistent despair about the fate that humanity is inevitably heading towards. Heartbreaking beauty.”
