Where We’ve Been, Where We Go From Here (CD)

Adding to Chicago's long lineage of forward-thinking indie rock, Friko transform each song into a moment of collective catharsis. On their full-length debut, vocalist/guitarist Niko Kapetan and drummer Bailey Minzenberger sustain the combustible energy of their breakout single "Crimson To Chrome," merging elements of post-punk, chamber-pop and experimental rock, magnifying their music's exhilarating power with a barrage of spirited ensemble vocals. Poetic, explosive, and sublimely raw in feeling.
