"It's a simple premise – growing up and losing touch with close friends. People that were once staples in your everyday life, now strangers you pass in the street."
Sydney punk powerhouse Totally Unicorn have announced their third album, High Spirits//Low Life, will be released on February 18 via Farmer & The Owl/BMG.
The album was produced, mixed and recorded by Lachlan Mitchell (The Hard-Ons, The Jezabels), and is defined by the context in which it was written, a world struck by lockdown and distancing, with an emphasis on relatability.
They'll be celebrating their album release with a massive East Coast album tour across March.
Teasing the record, Totally Unicorn have released their new single, Fri(ends) feat. Frenzal Rhomb legend Jay Whalley.
On the track, vocalist Drew Gardiner said: "It's a simple premise – growing up and losing touch with close friends. People that were once staples in your everyday life, now strangers you pass in the street.
"It's something that most people experience in life and it's even more relatable now, with so many of us relying on screens to stay in touch, which, let's face it, isn't enough to sustain some relationships.

"Thankfully, our friendship with Jason Whalley of Frenzal Rhomb fame has endured, and we were lucky enough to have him feature on this song, keep an eye out for his handsome head in the video."
