Boy Friend

You know you've been put in the 'friend zone' when she makes the distinction between boyfriend and boy – pause – friend. The separation of the two words conjures up awkward moments, in any gender, where you want to let someone know that you have a friend while specifying what parts they were born with. See, even that sentence is awkward.

Thankfully, Boy Friend leaves no room for awkward moments in their self-titled EP. Born from the same members of Sleep ∞ Over, Christa Palazzolo and Sarah Brown, Boy Friend buries its airy, reverberating vocals in a wall of sound. The only short, stark noises are the percussion, and even that is welded into the swirling synths. "D'Arrest" is an articulate example of their girlish and cavernous sound, and you can hear it above and download it below.

Boy Friend is for sale for $4 on the band's bandcamp, or you can stream all four songs right here:
