Likened in sound already to Band of Horses, Fleet Foxes and Radiohead, Dear Friends are exactly that – a close knit group who have spent the last 5 years inside an old converted mill in a cold, grey industrial town making warmth and light with music – honing their sound into a new kind of orchestral Americana and folk-tinged pop.
Soft structures, layered harmonies, long crescendos, big sounds, Dear Friends.
“Fans of early REM, Elliott Smith, Nick Drake or Iron & Wine will swoon over these tapestries.” – The Even Ground
