ニューヨーク/ブルックリン拠点のアーティスト Avery Friedmanが、4/18にAudio Antiheroからリリースしたデビューアルバム『New Thing』より、'Nervous'を公開！
新曲が出るたびにほぼ取り上げてきた期待のニューカマー。'Nervous'は初フルレングスの最後の曲で、ここまで聴き終えてやっぱりこの人が書くメロディーが好きですね。
プロデュースを務めた James Chrisman (Sister., CIAO MALZ)、演奏に参加した Felix Walworth (Florist, Told Slant), Ryan Cox (Club Aqua), Malia DelaCruz (CIAO MALZ)らも素晴らしい仕事っぷりで、特にこの曲のテープの使い方はお気に入りです。
アルバムといっても全8曲で気軽に聴けるのでぜひ。
“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
