Philly indie folk outfit Friendship have just shared a new single in addition to announcing a release date for their sophomore album, Shock Out of Season, which will be out on November 3rd via Orindal Records.

“If You See My Beloved” is a five minute long track that edges along to a steady beat and a static electro atmosphere. The power of the song lies in the lyrics, however, with frontman Dan Wriggins’ conversational, stream-of-conscious words painting a picture of a deteriorating relationship through his realistic recount of a rainy day excursion.

With lines like “Clouds float off / do their drifty thing” and the parting words of “If you see my beloved / say what’s up for me” the song finds strength in the symbolism of everyday normalities, as well as through impeccable subtlety — like the microscopic voice crack before Wriggins asks in heartbreak, “how long do we have?”
