After nearly two years away, Friko is back.
The Chicago indie rock outfit has returned with a poignant new single, “Seven Degrees,” alongside the announcement of their sophomore album Something Worth Waiting For, due out April 24. The record follows their pensive debut, Where We’ve Been, Where We Go From Here.
Built around a melancholy, descending guitar riff, “Seven Degrees” finds lead vocalist Niko Kapetan at his most poetic. “We’re souls in a line, waiting to meet / Waiting for that summer breeze to throw us in each other’s arms,” he belts on the chorus.
The song’s emotional weight swells in its final minute, as a key change ushers in crashing drums, pushing the track toward a cathartic, slow-burn climax.
