Friendship Commanders delve deep into memory and language in their newest single “Blue”

Nashville-based heavy duo Friendship Commanders have returned with a powerful new single titled “Blue.” The song is the first release from their upcoming body of work, which is centred around memory, language, and the state of Massachusetts. The track sets the tone for what promises to be an emotional and thought-provoking collection.

Lead vocalist and songwriter Buick Audra delves deep into lived experiences that were once hazy and unclear, searching for new vocabulary to articulate those moments. “Blue” serves as the thesis statement for this exploration, as Friendship Commanders confront the past and shape it into something meaningful for the present.

The band’s production and recording were co-handled with Kurt Ballou at his GodCity studio in Salem, Massachusetts. The collaboration has resulted in a rich and layered sound, full of nuance and emotional depth. From the opening notes, the listener is drawn in by the driving rhythm and Audra’s evocative vocals.

“Blue” is a masterclass in introspection and self-reflection. Buick’s words capture the complex emotions that come with revisiting painful memories and finding the words to express them. The song builds to an intense and cathartic conclusion, leaving the listener feeling both drained and exhilarated.

Friendship Commanders have crafted a single that serves as a powerful introduction to their forthcoming body of work. “Blue” is a bold and uncompromising statement that promises great things to come from this talented duo. Looking forward to more.
