NEWSKI has announced the release their full-length album \u2018Friend Rock\u2019 via Nomad Union (order<\/a>). The album follows Newski’s acclaimed album and book \u2018It’s Hard to be a Person: defeating anxiety, surviving the world, and having more fun<\/a>\u2019

For \u2018Friend Rock,\u2019 NEWSKI enlisted a friend\/musical influence to contribute to every track. From veterans like Matthew Caws (Nada Surf), Brian Vander Ark (the Verve Pipe), Ryan Miller (Guster), Miles Nielsen, and Scott Terry (Red Wanting Blue) to overseas acts like H Burns (France), The Secret Beach (Canada) and The Shabs (South Africa), NEWSKI compiles an internationally collaborative album from his own tiny house in Wisconsin. On the album Glide Magazine<\/a> says, “Through his music, podcast and books, NEWSKI manages to be both endearingly goofy at times, but also vulnerable and sincere, especially with last year\u2019s album and book \u2018It\u2019s Hard to Be a Person: Defeating Anxiety, Surviving the World and Having More Fun\u2019 where he discussed his own struggles with mental health. That trend carries on with Friend Rock, where the nine songs seem to vacillate from tough topics to lighter moments.”<\/em> NEWSKI adds, “We are nothing without our friends.”<\/em> Watch the video for Chemicals<\/em> featuring Matthew Caws of Nada Surf via YouTube below. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
