Avery Friedman “Flowers Fell”

Brooklyn’s Avery Friedman is preparing to release her debut LP, New Thing on April 18th via Audio Antihero. The album’s lead single is “Flowers Fell.” The guitar-ballad is reminiscent of artists like Clairo or Phoebe Bridgers. The song has a melancholic feel but surprisingly hopeful lyrics. Friedman said “The opening melody for ‘Flowers Fell’ came to me on a headphone-less walk home one night down Greene Avenue in Brooklyn. I had noticed that the flowers that once lined the branches had been replaced by leaves — seemingly in the blink of an eye. I was briefly disappointed until I considered that the petals had made way for something more sustainable – and equally full of life. The song became a meditation on the concept of place – how things of our surroundings like ‘sidewalks,’ and ‘balconies’ and ‘trees,’ can act as fixed backdrops upon which we measure our personal evolutions (and the evolutions of our relationships) across the span of many seasons.”
