From Gothenburg - where else? - Friendly Boyfriend are sleazy Vaselines noise
(cheap keyboards, instant tunes and the possibility that just maybe "Julie's
Head" is a euphemism), seasick Beat Happening guitars tuned to the key of what
the fuck, and in Sleeping (On Your Couch) the numb despair and desolation of
Television Personalities' Far Away And Lost In Joy. Or maybe they were thinking
Big Star's Third. Same difference.
And? And they cover The Clean's Beatnik if
you had any doubts where their hearts truly lie. Four songs, one 7" single. All
excellent. Any serious conversation about 2021's single of the year has to
include this. Buy now before it starts trading hands for silly money.
