FRIDAY
Take a look in advance
FRIDAY began as the story of friends Koen and Quinten, who made music together after long days at their 9-to-5 jobs. Songs born out of friendship, a longing for freedom, and the urge to escape the ordinary.
They signed with major labels, had two Top Songs on NPO Radio 2, racked up more than 15 million streams, and played to sold-out venues. But behind those successes, they felt more and more strongly that the freedom they’d set out for had disappeared. With their third album, FRIDAY breaks free. Darker, rawer, more honest. The songs delve into sleepless nights, the weight of everyday life, and the search for light in the shadows. Where their early work was about escape, this album is also about the question where we’re actually running away from: the rat race, the silence among friends, dreams that linger.

FRIDAY sounds more urgent and intense than ever. Indie at heart and soul, with sharp edges and restless energy. Music that simultaneously offers an escape and serves as a mirror for anyone balancing between freedom and doubt.
Support
Jacob Drescher presents his stories by balancing on the edge between intimacy and intense tension. In his DIY caravan studio, he crafts these songs into a blend of indie-folk and late-night soul. Blue nights and gentle songs, deeply layered with shoegaze-style guitars, vocal harmonies, jazz-infused drum grooves, and beautiful clarinet melodies.
