An intensely personal song, "Friends" is the second single from the recently released EP, Far From Home, on Entertainment One. Produced by Ryan Hadlock, renowned for his work with The Lumineers, Brandi Carlile and Vance Joy, Far From Home offers a compelling distillation of the Brooklyn-by-way-of-Baltimore trio's "amazing roots rock [with] sweet melodies that really shine" (Huffington Post), and ranges from the infectiousness of "Caroline" to the introspective warmth of "Friends" to the bittersweet buoyancy of "Home (I Was Born)." This EP is the follow up to the debut record, Sun Will Rise, which gained widespread critical acclaim from media outlets including American Songwriter, Relix, PopWrapped and more.
In anticipation of Far From Home, the band spent the better part of 2017 on the road, including an appearance at Firefly Festival. The first single "Caroline" has gained traction at radio and online, recently cracking the top 100 at AAA and racking up more than half a million streams on Spotify. 2018 will see the release of a full-length album and another national tour. As Culture Collide puts it, "With songs like this, Animal Years are a band to watch."
The band will next perform at The Thrillist Holiday Hideaway.
