Whoah... This is honestly among my favorite finds this week, particularly since "Friends" beautifully encapsulates the sounds of Fakaer and Tycho wrapped into a cohesive listening experience.

We're initially pulled in by the serene pads and strings that engulf the listener with their large presence, and if that wasn't enough melodically we're also teased by the shimmer of the bright bells guided by the bounce of the drums. The section which stole my heart was definitely the ethnic vocal sample that slips into the mix as soon as the drums fall silent, this certainly accentuated the journey feel we're acquainted too throughout the track.
