Avery Friedman – “Photo Booth”
“Photo Booth” is the latest from New York, NY musician Avery Friedman. It has a phuzzy beginning that comes back around for a couple passes, while keeping a playful, upbeat tone. There’s a smidgen of keys that combine with Friedman’s vocals for a wholly satisfying track start to finish. It has an almost bedroom-pop vibe that I can get on board with, as would anyone who enjoys Phoebe Bridgers or Adrianne Lenker’s catalogues. Speaking to the track, Avery Friedman had this to say:
“I wrote this song after a vibrant night out with my friends last winter – a night memorialized by many chaotic photo booth strips… This night out in particular felt like an encapsulation of spin-the-bottle-type ‘second adolescence’ that many queer people experience when coming into themselves after their adolescent years pass.”
You can hear it below from SoundCloud, as well as Spotify if that’s more your cup of tea. If you enjoyed this well then, my friends, you’re in luck! Avery Friedman’s debut album New Thing (Audio Antihero) is due out April 18th. Until then, check out the other half of the single, “Flowers Fall,” which is equally delightful.
