I was, as they say, today years old when I discovered that Special Friend is actually the name of a band and not a, well, special friend joining various bands at a gig. Thanks, Skep Wax for the clarification, for it’s the London label who will (co-)release their upcoming album (not even the band’s first) Clipping in March, from which Breakfast is taken. Special Friend is a French-American duo residing in Paris that, at least here, reminds me of early Allo Darlin’: cute, slightly lo-fi indiepop singer-songerwriter. It’s a good friend to have.
