Frenship Announce New EP, Base Camp
James Sunderland and Brett Hite, who record and perform as the band Frenship, have announced the October 13 release of their new EP Base Camp. Having already shared the single “Copenhagen,” they reveal another taste of the new album with the release of the lush and dreamy “Lover or an Enemy.” Lyrically the band revel in a certain newfound vulnerability; “This song actually started as a pandemic song, but we realized very quickly that general loneliness has become its own epidemic, so we didn’t have to change the lyrics from their original subject matter,” says Hite. “We have more access to everyone than we’ve ever had before, and yet we’re as lonely as we’ve ever been,” he adds. “I’ll take a lover or an enemy, just give me somebody.” The song is an aching ode to real, human connection, which the duo is hoping to capture on Base Camp.
Frenship will head out on the road with dates kicking off October 5 at the Cat’s Cradle in Carrboro, NC and concluding here in Denver at the Marquis Theater on November 18.
