On The Table Read Magazine, “the best entertainment magazine in the UK“, My Best Friend by Friedberg is the new single from their debut album, and comes with an enthralling music video directed by the Nüesch Sisters.
My Best Friend
New single, My Best Friend by Friedberg, was co-written and produced with prestigious post-punk producer Dan Carey (Wet Leg, Foals, Been Stellar), via Clouds Hill, as part of their debut album due for release later this year. The track comes with an enthralling music video, directed by award-winning directing duo Nüesch Sisters.
Directed by the award-winning directing duo Nüesch Sisters, the video captures the band on a commuters worst nightmare, the London underground during rush hour. Featuring people’s journey’s from all walks of life, the band appear throughout the carriage playing their respective instruments in amongst the carnage of a jam packed tube, creating the illusion that seeing a band play their latest track on public transport is the most normal thing in the world.
With an anticipating sense of climatic urgency, My Best Friend ultimately leads to a chorus of chaotic yet cohesive energy. Frontwoman Anna Friedberg’s silky vocals and signature cowbell chimes give the track an essence that is non comparable to anything other than Friedberg.
It was the first song I wrote with Dan Carey: It started with a jam at his studio in South London – with just 2 guitars and a cowbell. Well… and a few cowbell hits later the song was there in its whole glory. I had such a good time making this track with Dan. I kind of already felt from the very first second I met him and entered his studio that this was gonna be amazing. The track is about non-commitment, I am experiencing more and more in all aspects of modern society.
-Anna Friedberg
Friedberg
Friedberg are gearing up for a busy year ahead, including a performance at this year’s Great Escape Festival. The band are currently on the road alongside German indie rock band Giant Rooks, whose recent album has peaked at #1 in Germany, to support them on their month-long U.S tour. They will also be supporting rising Black Country duo Big Special for their London and Manchester shows in May, as well as British alt-rock duo Placebo’s Halifax, Southampton and Bristol shows in June.
Formed in 2019 by the Austrian-born Anna Friedberg (writer, vocals, guitar, cowbells and percussion), the line up is completed by London/Berlin-based Emily Linden (guitar, vocals), Cheryl Pinero (bass, vocals) and Laura Williams (drums). Friedberg’s early success came from single ‘Go Wild’ – a runaway hit that featured on the FIFA 2020 soundtrack, and in BBC’s Normal People – and their stellar debut EP ‘Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah’, a razor-sharp collection of belters designed for the live stage.
The band has made major waves in Europe with performances at Eurosonic (Holland), Open Air St. Gallen (Switzerland), headlined Popfest Vienna (Austria), Haldern Pop (Germany), Heimspiel Knyphausen (Germany),, a U.S tour with Hot Chip and support at their x3 Brixton Academy shows in London, supports with Placebo and high profile stadium support shows with AnnenMayKantereit in Germany last Summer.
