King Friday is an unapologetic band gaining steam in the most honest, practical way they know how, given the modern independent music landscape. The only thing anchoring King Frida y to another era is, contradictorily, their music. The songs hark back to more psychedelic times. They’re honest and fun, reminiscent of early Of Montreal recordings. Paul Simon’s penchant for harmony and Harry Nilsson’s signature wail clearly influence their catalog–but there’s something else happening here. There’s a whimsy that can’t be faked--a non-self-aware-modern-stoner-dork vibe. The Big Strange marked King Friday’s 6th album in just a year and a half in which crystal clear pianos and harmonies create a sturdy foundation for songs about hypocrisy, inadequacy and adderall.
