Currently out on the national touring Sad Summer Festival, Chicago’s Real Friends surprise fans with an album announcement alongside the compelling new track ‘Our Love Was Like A Sad Song.’ The song will be featured on the brand new upcoming album ‘Blue Hour,’ which is set for release on October 11th, 2024.
Vocalist and lyricist Cody Muraro’s personal experiences stand as the inspiration for the new song. “Before joining Real Friends, I faced some of the toughest years of my life, spiraling into depression and failing to be there for a loved one,” says Muraro. “This song, ‘Our Love Was Like a Sad Song’, reflects on those moments of guilt and growth.”
With their current lineup solidified since 2021, the song further shows off vocalist Cody Muraro’s talents as a vocalist and connection in writing with the group. The upcoming album ‘Blue Hour’ will be his first full-length with the band as well as the band’s first since 2018. Rounded out by guitarists David Knox and Eric Haines, bassist Kyle Fasel, and with drummer Brian Blake the band hails the record as the most important and authentic music they have made to date.
Today’s new track ‘Our Love Was Like A Sad Song’ as well as the recently released ‘Waiting Room’ will be included in the tracklist of the forthcoming fall album.
