Avery is giving the photo booth pretty pictures. The Sundance Festival has new music for movie soundtracks. Am I reluctant to admit that this is cool? No. You did really good. Continue.

about
The second single from 'New Thing,' Avery Friedman's debut album.
“I wrote this song after a vibrant night out with my friends last winter – a night memorialized by many chaotic photo booth strips. Something about the novelty, containment and ephemerality of a photo booth just invites a sort of flirtatious mischief. This night out in particular felt like an encapsulation of spin-the-bottle-type ‘second adolescence’ that many queer people experience when coming into themselves after their adolescent years pass. This song really came into itself when we decentered my guitar, and surrendered to the more chaotic, pop-adjacent production it was asking for.” – Avery Friedman

lyrics
Give you a little look
Truth-or-dare pupils
And there’ll be a little line
If you want to change your mind
You can hold it in your hand
You can see what you’ve done
And the curtain can’t hide it
When all the music quiets
Four strikes and you’re out
Photo Booth blood magic
(mmm, mmm)
(mmm, mmm)
You hold it in your hands
Remnants of the flashes
You can try to fold it away
But exposure’s in your gaze
Thigh-to-thigh in black and white
Circle the full moon tonight
And the curtain can’t hide it
When all the music quiets
Four strikes and you’re out
Photo Booth blood magic
(mmm, mmm)
(mmm, mmm)
And the curtain can’t hide it
Photo Booth blood magic
And the curtain can’t hide it
Photo Booth blood magic
And the curtain can’t
And the curtain can’t
And the curtain can’t
Truth-or-dare pupils
And there’ll be a little line
If you want to change your mind
You can hold it in your hand
You can see what you’ve done
And the curtain can’t hide it
When all the music quiets
Four strikes and you’re out
Photo Booth blood magic
(mmm, mmm)
(mmm, mmm)
You hold it in your hands
Remnants of the flashes
You can try to fold it away
But exposure’s in your gaze
Thigh-to-thigh in black and white
Circle the full moon tonight
And the curtain can’t hide it
When all the music quiets
Four strikes and you’re out
Photo Booth blood magic
(mmm, mmm)
(mmm, mmm)
And the curtain can’t hide it
Photo Booth blood magic
And the curtain can’t hide it
Photo Booth blood magic
And the curtain can’t
And the curtain can’t
And the curtain can’t
