FRIKO - SOMETHING WORTH WAITING FOR VINYL (LP)

Release Date: 24th April 2026

The Chicago rock band, Friko, bring us the follow-up to their fantastic 2024 debut which was high on our VENUS VINYL OF THE YEAR list and instantly you know this was 'something worth waiting for'. The band have a blistful blend of 00s American indie & alternative rock with beautiful orchestral and symphonic flourishes sounding like something between Bright Eyes, The Shins & Band of Horses. It's an engaging listen from start to finish, with the tune 'Choo Choo' an instant classic you won't be able to stop playing. All aboard the Friko train!

"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."
