Alta - Stepping Out (friendships Remix)

contributed a track to feral media's seasons ep series. 

"Friendships offer up a synth-laden jungle banger, citing early Dillinja as a particular influence on the track. Although written when Melbourne was still cold and rainy – which accounts for the dark bass edge – the summer vibes can certainly be heard via the timbale rhythms which considering the setting lend the track an almost tropical feel."

DJ Donut, the dragon - Mixed for Piece

http://friendship.bandcamp.com/album/ghost-hear

This is a project that we have poured our heart and souls into and we are crazy proud of it. We have released it 100% independently and feel it truly represents us as a sonic/visual duo. It has been in the making for almost as long as we have been known as friendships. 
We have been lucky enough that our musical heroes, mentors and mates, Martin King & Tim Shiel have pieced together two amazing remixes. 
We really hope you dig it.

Kirin J Callinan - Embracism (friendships Otra Vez Edit)

2 track available via itunes

friendships are an audio/visual 2 piece from Melbourne, Australia. Their sonic landscape is bass heavy and draws on tribal influences that mix with drum + bass and alternative electronica. This is coupled with a visual component that throws large scale, dark and brooding visual imagery over stages when performed live. friendships also exhibit work in gallery spaces. 2014 and 2015 has seen friendships develop internationally, 2 highlights being a support for Erykah Badu & Thundercat at Low End Theory [LA] and a sold-out show at Pianos [NY]. In Australia, they have supported Shigeto, Cashmere Cat, Purity Ring, Mr Carmack, RL Grime, Mark Pritchard, and Sinjin Hawke.

Pedal To The Metal

This is a collection of edits, cuts and tools I have made to use in club/DJ sets. I want to keep the club conscious. I want all my influences to be easily accessible. My favourite musicians and poets, to be able to fit into a club environment and fall into our sound. I want to hear Abe Nouk or Yorkston/Thorne/Khan at 3am. It's important to keep a place of escapism somewhat aware.

'The Roof' is the first singe off friendships' debut LP, 'Nullarbor 1988 - 1989'
Released by Mansion Records and Dot Dash / Remote Control Records

The Roof

Nic Brown and Misha Grace have an air of invincibility about them. Immortality even. 

They're friendships (lower case, higher hands) an audio/visual 2 piece from Melbourne who play chaotic future sounds, storming drum'n'bass, post-Warp slammers and searing, ear-shearing techno. But the duo were nearly scythed into one when Grace had a fall from, well, grace last year. Misha dropped 5 metres off a roof at an after party in Brooklyn at CMJ New York and very nearly slipped off this mortal coil. "I honestly thought she was dead," her soulmate/bandmate Brown said. "Her eyes were in the back of her head and she wasn't breathing."

Grace escaped with only a broken humerus and Brown completed the tour himself. He got by. Now they're back at full strength and feeling immortal as they prepare to release Nullarbor 1988-1989 on September 30 via Dot Dash / Remote Control Records in partnership with US based label Mansion. 

“The Nullarbor plain is the physical body of land that links Misha and I (Jerramungup, Western Australia & Footscray, Victoria),” says Brown. “We have conceptually created an audio/visual representation to the Nullarbor in 1988-1989. Isolation and incredible harsh landscapes. Blood, sweat and gravel. Dust kicks and kisses the Great Australian Bight. A time when the road was king and petrol was God”.

Grace has done a painting for every song on the record, including the too-soon-surely The Roof. Her works feature drooling, gnashing dogs, an obese man on an invisible crucifix blurting “God Bless America,” and blue and brown smeared figures, meshed with each other.

“When I got back from the ‘States after the accident, I had nothing. I couldn’t work,” says Grace. “I couldn’t eat, I couldn’t sleep, I couldn’t perform. I was on a small allowance from Centrelink so I rented a shitty studio in Footscray with it and painted for 6 months. I listened to the album, again and again and again and heard thousands of individuals trying to be understood and heard all at the same time. I see the mateship and the hateship, the loneliness and that popularity”.
Brown continues: “Sonically I wanted to draw from these ideas and set the listener in a scene, burning down the Nullarbor plain in a Holden V8, ciggie puffing out the window, running away from your life, the road folding around you like a blanket.” 
friendships have racked up their flying hours. They've supported Erykah Badu, Thundercat, Purity Ring, Mark Pritchard, RL Grime and blown crowds away at BIGSOUND (Brisbane), Volumes Festival (Sydney), Paradise Music Festival (Vic), Golden Plains Festival (Vic), SXSW (TX) and CMJ (NY). 
“My heritage is rural farming, but I've lived the last few years in city clubs. I wanted it to feel like a distinctly Australian album. I want people to be able to taste the salt of the land and smell the sweat,” Brown says. You can smell Misha’s acrylic paint too.
Nullarbor 1988-1989 includes lead single When I Feel Like Killing, I Murder, an exploration into a “Heart of Darkness” similar to themes Joseph Conrad wrote about in the 127 page novel  Apocalypse Now is based on. "There's skull on my steel caps, legend, and I'm not happy about that," Brown spits in Jerramungup 1988, moments before 'Murder slashes in. 
The record features collaborations with Yaw Faso, thelovelyme, Unsoundbwoy and Habits.
  
friendships are alive and kicking. 
Ready to raise the roof and splinter the rules.
Going in for the kill.
