An essential addition to Chicago’s long lineage of forward-thinking indie rock, Friko transforms every song into a moment of collective catharsis. Known for their high-energy live show, Friko aims to deliver a live experience that’s fantastically disorienting in its emotional arc. Mastered by Heba Kadry (Björk, Big Thief) and engineered by Jack
Henry and Scott Tallarida, Where we’ve been, Where we go from here (out now on ATO Records) embodies a sonic complexity befitting of a band that names Romantic-era classical music and the more primal edges of art-rock among their inspirations.
Where we've been, Where we go from here has catapulted Friko into the national spotlight, with glowing reviews from Pitchfork, SPIN, Rolling Stone, Alternative Press, Chicago Sun-Times, Paste, and more, along with placement on several “Best Of 2024” lists including Vulture/New York Magazine, A.V. Club, Paste, who named “Where We’ve Been” their #1 song of the year so far, and NPR Music, who deemed “Get Numb To It!” a contender for one of the year’s best songs. The band has also received airplay from influential radio stations such as WXRT, Q101, KUTX, WYMS, and KCMP, and Where we’ve been, Where we go from here also charted in the top 10 on the NACC Top 200 College Radio chart. Following spring tours with Water From Your Eyes, WILLIS and Mind’s Eye, a summer with performances at Lollapalooza, Newport Folk Festival, and Fuji Rock, Friko will cap off 2024 supporting Royel Otis across North America before embarking on their first European headline run. Friko hopes that their music’s emotional potency might have a galvanizing impact on audiences.
