Friday Bridge – Intricacy



Intricacy is the highly anticipated debut album by Friday Bridge. It’s about anonymity, volatility and literature. About Mannerism and cheap drinks, Jeanne de Vauds and Martin Fry. Intricacy can be described as cynic tales disguised into electronic beauty. The thirteen tracks on the album exist in an unique musical universe, but one where you can see shadows of Mylène Farmer, Dannii Minogue, Louis Philippe and Human League.

Intricacy is produced by Niklas Gustafsson — from The Higher Elevations and This Year’s Model — together with Friday Bridge. On Pigeon, Friday Bridge joins forces with Fosca frontman and London profile Dickon Edwards.

Track listing:
01. Prologue
02. Armance L'Actrice
03. Literature
04. Love and Nostalgia (MP3)
05. The 21st Century
06. Edward VII
07. Le Satin s'empare de la Mode
08. The End of the Affair
