Athens, GA based band Family in Friends are a hidden gem. Xoxo is the band’s second album and features some amazing tunes, including my personal favourite ‘Wyoming’. The song opens with a drum beat, shaker, and swelling guitar, which eventually culminates in a beautiful harmonised chorus. This song is constantly morphing shape, feel, and vibe, by toying with drum beats and dynamics, yet it still remains one cohesive item. “To lover for all her ways, I don’t know no other ways.” The band has limited tour dates coming up, unfortunately, but you can listen to their two albums online.
