The Philadelphia band Friendship are releasing a new album, Dreamin’, in a couple months, the follow-up to 2017’s very good Shock Out Of Season. Its lead single, “Clairvoyant,” is a cloudy gentle sway, a small side-step from the skittering solitude of their latest album. Dan Wriggins’ voice is conversational, searching through memories like a scrapbook. “You asked if I’d been crying lately/ I said, ‘How can you tell?’/ You said, ‘I’m clairvoyant, baby,” he sings on one of its standout lines.

“I wrote ‘Clairvoyant’ a couple days after seeing Willie Nelson perform in Camden, New Jersey at the BB&T Pavilion,” Wriggins said of the song. “My friend Mark had won tickets from a radio station, but had to bail the day before, so he gave me the tickets and I went alone. This is only tangentially represented in the action of the song. But I think it’s pertinent given Willie’s (and one or two others’) creepy ability to read minds.”
