BLACK VINYL LP.

"An album for sleeping and waking, walking and driving, hunting and fishing, for loitering outside a roadhouse on the haunted tundra. Okay in elevators, not great for dinner. On Caveman Wakes Up, Friendship's new album and second for Merge Records, the band's historically capacious definition of country music grows wider still. Shambolic guitars are offset by flute pads, bleary poetry is set against a Motown rhythm section, a song about Jerry Garcia and First Lady Betty Ford fades out with a drum solo, like if Talk Talk came from a dingy Philadelphia basement and was fronted by James Tate. Songwriter Dan Wriggins' ragged baritone cuts through eleven murky, swirling country-rock songs with profound lyrical substance and sincerity. Like an alarm clock incorporated into the edge of a dream, Caveman Wakes Up belongs equally to the conscious and subconscious mind, fraught with background, steeped in reference and experimentation, delivered casually and as a dire warning, dedicated, above all, to music's creative soul.

Over the years, dedication has paid off. Friendship has become a kind of reverse supergroup, wherein the band itself and each individual member are located centrally in an increasingly prominent scene of young folk and country musicians and songwriters. Drummer Michael Cormier O'Leary leads the instrumental collective Hour and, along with bassist Jon Samuels, runs Dear Life Records, home to friends and peers who count Friendship as a major influence including MJ Lenderman, Florry, and Fust. (Samuels also plays lead guitar in MJ Lenderman and the Wind). Guitarist Peter Gill's band 2nd Grade records prolifically. Wriggins began writing the songs of Caveman Wakes Up on a downtuned classical guitar of Lenderman's and finished on a barely tuned piano in an apartment he shared with Sadurn's G DeGroot. In the summer of 2023, Wriggins had just left the Iowa Writers' Workshop, where his love for poetry and mistrust for the academic poetry world grew in tandem. A relationship fell apart, and Wriggins crashed for several weeks at Lenderman and Wednesday's Karly Hartzman's home in North Carolina, where he recorded the first demos of "Resident Evil," "All Over the World," and "Love Vape." Wriggins returned to Philadelphia, and the band got to work on new ideas, finally tracking the album in five days with engineer Jeff Ziegler (Mary Lattimore, War on Drugs). Wriggins recorded vocals with Love the Stranger engineer Bradford Kreiger, and organ, violin (Jason Calhoun), and flute (Adelyn Strei) were recorded by Lucas Knapp in a West Philadelphia church. Caveman Wakes Up showcases Friendship's particular genius for visionary arrangement, indebted equally across generations to the folk-rock canon of Neil Young, Joni Mitchell, and Emmylou Harris, to indie stalwarts like Yo La Tengo and Merge labelmates Lambchop, to contemporaries like Lomelda and ML Buch. Several of the songs employ fade-outs, jokingly referred to in the lyrics of "Love Vape," and there are other elements lifted from Motown and '70s ballads: locked-in drum patterns, bass intervals, sentimental string arrangements. Each reference is pushed past genre, swirling and repeating, into something new and squarely belonging to the Friendship sound. On "Free Association," "Artex," and "Wildwood in January," the groove is established so that other sounds can come and go seamlessly; Mellotron patches, piano flurries and stabs, and clean guitar melodies, teeming textures disguised in unity. As a work of music production, Caveman Wakes Up is Friendship's most advanced yet, another testament to the band's devotion and care. Caveman Wakes Up is dreamy, luscious new growth for a band that has become an increasingly verdant oasis in the crescent of indie country civilization. Sure to excite and mystify, to continue growing, to cause new life."

Great value and super convenient for everyday use!
Size: 300 Count
exactly what I needed for busy days and quick cleanups. They’re sturdy enough for everyday meals like sandwiches, snacks, and even lighter hot foods without getting soggy or falling apart. I love the convenience of having such a large pack on hand — it lasts a long time and is perfect for families, parties, or meal prep days. The size is just right for most meals, and they stack easily for storage. For the price and quantity, it’s a great deal and saves so much time on dishwashing. Definitely a household staple I keep restocking!

Hydrating and Lightweight – Great for Daily Use
This is a great daily moisturizer. It has a light scent and leaves my skin feeling soft and hydrated for hours. I’ve been using it consistently and noticed some improvement in my skin tone. It’s not greasy and absorbs well, which I really like.

Amazing for evening skin tone
I’ve been using Palmer’s Skin Success Fade Milk and I’m very happy with the results. The lotion is lightweight, absorbs quickly, and doesn’t feel greasy at all. It keeps my skin well moisturized and over time I noticed my skin tone looking more even and brighter. I also like that it’s hydroquinone-free and contains niacinamide. The scent is mild and pleasant. Great quality product that delivers what it promises. I will definitely keep repurchasing!

Good for skin
Yes!!!! This actually works but the results are not permanent you have to continue using. But it does work for while in use. Would not recommend for the face though. Or should I say do not use often on face because it makes the face so oily. And not in a good way.

It works!
This is the only lotion I’ve been using on my body. I use koji acid Turmeric soap, and I use this lotion after. I’ve had these scars for years, and I’m definitely noticing a difference. I’m sure it’ll take months to finally get clear skin, but it does work. The lather could be better, so you do have to use a lot. I wish the bottle was bigger, especially since I use it on my entire body. So I have to use a lot. A bottle only last for about a month if your using it on large parts of your body. The smell isn’t bad at all, and it’s very lightweight. It doesn’t feel super moisturizing, but it’s good to SOLEY treat dark marks, but not your average everyday moisturizing lotion. But you can see a slight difference on my legs, and other parts have been clear very well. This is a great product, for a great price. I highly recommend pairing with a soap that treats dark spots.
