Chicago’s Friko returns with their anticipated sophomore album, produced by Grammy winner John Congleton, embracing a bolder sense of abandon, exploring noise-rock, avant-garde classical & 70s-era symphonic balladry. Their debut introduced a galvanizing new voice into the indie-rock canon, landing them on the cover of NME & Pitchfork’s best of year list. Something Worth Waiting For locates an elusive balance between the wide-eyed idealism of youth & the self-possessed grit of lived experience.
