Brooklyn-based artist Avery Friedman releases her debut EP New Thing.
New Thing is the result of Friedman’s traumatic experience of being mugged at knifepoint. Friedman navigates through anxiety and uncertainty on each track of this impressive debut album.
“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 a 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.”
