Recent commentary on Good King Friday's newly-released album:

Good King Friday is an ambitious new collaboration from six classically-trained rock aficianados with far-flung roots in Oklahoma, Los Angeles, Chicago, and Canada, and equally ecclectic tastes. The group operates as a collective in the classic sense of the word; each member adds an interesting element to the whole.  Fantastic harmony, arpeggiated polyrhythms and unique orchestration combine over a bed of minor tonalities and modal melodies with powerful female vocals that tie the entire ensemble together. This is art rock that caters to a new generation that is no longer satiated by guitar rock cliches. Their eponymous album is a feat in duality: cohesive and exciting, technically accomplished and creatively orchestrated, deep but still fun, and all-in-all refreshing.

Listen if you like:

Atonal and classical influence, along with a popular/rock vibe

Insightful lyrics

Sufjan Stevens's and Owen Pallett's lush orchestration

I'm pretty sure the moon's a balloon.

"Who Knows if the Moon's a Balloon?" is out in theaters! That is, the one on your wee computer screen.  We've hit YouTube, kids, and there's more to come, so stay tuned.

"Let there be symphonic pop-rock!"

Thus spake King Friday, and it was done.. atop a cloud of sound.

Sneaky Peeks: Upcoming Music Vids.

Recently, we were finally all able to get together and work on music videos. 

This is only a smidgen of documentation, but it shows us being very crafty. It was pretty nifty.

Questions...

...which require answers.

1. In the background of this blog, is King Friday:
    a) delivering his State of the Fish Tank speech
    b) trying to show you the length of a catfish he recently snared whilst hand-fishing
    c) asking for a hug

2. On the night of Sunday, August 14th will you be:
    a) evading the authorities
    b) crafting wee garments for your cats
    c) gloriously happy that you're at the Other Door Bar watching Good King Friday rock the casbah

Be there or be ☐, kids.

xoxo, GKF
