Album Notes

Childhood Friends have toured from Los Angeles to New York City but not everywhere in between. We're currently working on our fourth album, "Key Party". It'll probably be done mixing around the end of March... but we're having a baby sometime around Valentine's Day 2008. I know! You try touring with morning sickness. It's just like touring... except with barfing and no beer :( but we still had a great time. You can read our recording blog and hear some previews at myspace.com/forestfriends. Here's some of what people have said about us: "... a band equally at home with indierock, noise, and pop. It's dramatic, theatrical stuff that's as much Phantom of the Opera as it is Joy Division...they are a seriously solid art-rock band."- Portland Mercury "Childhood Friends from Portland OR delved into the poppy side of experimental... proving once again that such things are not mutually exclusive." "...a set of ultra-dark experimental pop turbulence. It would be easy to call them 'post gothic' since they're so damn menacing and pretty at the same time, but that wouldn't be fair to their multitude of other influences." - Ricardo Wang, KPSU "Childhood Friends have only recently joined the post-gothic experimental fray, but come equipped with a restrained electronic elegance which bespeaks a deep connection to the form's history." "Positively adorable and heartless." "No.2 best new band of '06, WW Band Poll" - Noah Mickens "(Childhood Friends) live in the unlikely space between the Cars and King Crimson. " Josh Blanchard, Portland Mercury
