Friendship's fifth album, 'Caveman Wakes Up,' reflects on everyday experiences, blending personal stories with broader reflections on life. The band, from Philadelphia, uses metaphor and vivid imagery to find significance in mundane moments, like remembering a specific stoop or romanticizing a gas station. Frontman Dan Wriggins' baritone delivery invokes emotions, capturing the beauty in fleeting truths and the complexity of life. Over a decade, they have evolved their sound within the indie-folk genre, showcasing their growth through intricate storytelling and creative arrangements.
"If you stay long enough in one place, Caveman Wakes Up suggests, you start to find warped profundity in the everyday."
"I have chilled on that stoop before," frontman Dan Wriggins sings on "Tree of Heaven," as if memorializing a former battleground: 'Nothing is forgotten.'
Friendship have spent the past decade finding cosmic meaning in the tangled metaphors of contemporary life...seeing the poetry in a ramekin of leftover jelly."
Fleeting emotional truths erupt from his baritone delivery like ants scattering from an overturned rock."
