Brooklyn-based indie artist Avery Friedman has officially announced her debut album, New Thing, set for release on April 18th via Audio Antihero. With the LP’s pre-order launching January 28th, Friedman is giving listeners an early taste with the release of its lead single, ‘Flowers Fell.’
Produced by James Chrisman (Sister.) and featuring Felix Walworth (Florist / Told Slant) on drums, ‘Flowers Fell’ is a textured introduction to Friedman’s tender, introspective artistry. Drawing on the natural imagery of shifting seasons, Friedman reflects on her journey of embracing creativity and navigating life’s transitions. The track’s tense yet melodic guitar bursts capture moments of resistance, building into a radiant, starry-eyed chorus.
Sharing the inspiration behind “Flowers Fell,” Friedman explains:
“The opening melody for ‘Flowers Fell’ came to me on a headphone-less walk home one night down Greene Avenue in Brooklyn. I had noticed that the flowers that once lined the branches had been replaced by leaves — seemingly in the blink of an eye. I was briefly disappointed until I considered that the petals had made way for something more sustainable – and equally full of life. The song became a meditation on the concept of place – how things of our surroundings like ‘sidewalks,’ and ‘balconies’ and ‘trees,’ can act as fixed backdrops upon which we measure our personal evolutions (and the evolutions of our relationships) across the span of many seasons.”
‘Flowers Fell’ is out now.
