London-based, all-female four-piece Friedberg have side-stepped from their usual alt-rock sound, leaning into a more industrial, electronic sound for new single ‘haha’. This new single is addictive, driving and deliciously dark.
Creating deep, hazy soundscapes with droning synths and rolling, pulsing drums, ‘haha’ feels raw, experimental and primal.
“We were just messing around at Dan’s (Carey) studio, started up the drum machine, I started singing the vocal line and then Dan hit that synth in the chorus, and we both looked at each other like, ‘Ok, that’s it…’ . It came together so quick and I just love when that happens. The song kinda spiralled from there — into this thing about curated perfection, someone who’s mastered the mirror but lost the plot. Spinning in the void between Selbstbild (Self-image) and Fremdbild (Foreign image). It drives me mad and also kind of makes me think: How do you leave the performance before it rewrites you?” -Friedberg
