The “American visionary duo” Friend of a Friend (Claire Molek, Jason Savsani) formed in the summer of 2020 after a lifetime of missing each other. The band describes the process as an almost supernatural experience – “the opportunity to make music together has completely changed our relationship with ourselves and the world around us.”
FOAF’s debut album In Arms, an intimate blend of folk, post- and art-rock, was recorded to tape in Nashville and released independently in late May 2022. Since then, they have been touring relentlessly across Europe and North America. The duo is celebrated for their cinematic, experimental performance, utilizing a distorted flamenco guitar, a midi controller and intense physicality.
Their second album FACILITIES was recorded in the studio in Joshua Tree, California, with Jordan Lawlor (M83, J. Laser). Influences include “Portishead, M83, The Kills & Jose Gonzalez had a baby in the desert during the end of your favorite movie”. Since the release of the album Waterfall, the band has been called “artists to watch” by Rolling Stone, “an indie rock band taking the scene by storm” by Wonderland Magazine and featured in Under the Radar.
