Exploding In Sound Records is thrilled to announce that Philadelphia, PA’s Tall Friend has joined the label. In anticipation of the band’s full length debut Safely Nobody’s later this Spring, the band will re-release their debut EP, Tawl Friend on January 27th. Originally self-released last February with a limited physical release, Tawl Friend is an incredible collection of stark indie pop songs and heartbreaking beauty. Led by singer/songwriter Char (aka Charlie Pfaff), Tall Friend has songs are raw and honest, filled with introspection, fears, and longing. Written and recorded when she was just 17 years old, Tawl Friend is an unfiltered look into Char’s mind.
“Cockroach” opens with Char’s baritone guitar and an undulating synth pulse before her vocals begin, a direct notion to understanding relationships. She sings on the hook, “tell me what you’re thinking, what’s been on your mind? i am the queen of guessing games, but tonight i am just tired”. There’s a stark simplicity and honesty to Tall Friend’s music.
