the friend / l/f/d/m: fuck sunsets/balearic fisting

The Friend delivers four tracks of sludge techno straight from the source in Detroit, from the creeped-out stylings of "Room(s)" and the bleeped-out techno of "Star" to the menacing groove of "Bent" (with The Significant Other) and the pure bass of with "Stripping" (with Selande). L/F/D/M (loves flaccid disco muscle) drops four varied tracks on the B-side, from the full-on raging acid techno of "Belton" and the intricate drones of "Drome Version II" to creepy sex loops on "88" and the degraded synths of "Untruths."
