Woah – 18 years into their existence, Malaysian indie-pop band The Fridays has just released their second full length ‘No One Realizes This is Nowhere’. The band has put up ordering info and a full album stream that you can only check out at the pre-order link below. But here’s the write up:
“A cross-pollination of big, hooky alterna-pop with a distinct Sarah Records-esque sense of earnesty, The Fridays sprinkle sass, fairy dust and crushed prozac all over their sophomore record. No One Realizes This Is Nowhere was made during a uniquely miserable period professionally and personally. But despite the band’s penchant for self-derision and laughing at their own misfortune, this effort turns out to be much an album about second chances and how starting over probably isn’t such a bad thing after all.”
