friends& Interview

In today's episode of Absent Sounds, we sit down with jc, the brain behind the beast that is friends&, to talk through folx. It's the 2026 record from the Toronto collective sprawling 112-tracks, and eight years in the making. We get into the terminally-online roots of the project, the genre term "laptop twee," what it means to let a track live it's full absurdity, the file-management discipline it takes to survive a record with this many discarded versions a cappella and all.
