Avery Friedman’s New Thing is a deeply personal and emotionally charged indie folk gem, marking the final single from her debut LP of the same name. Written in the wake of a traumatic mugging, the track captures the disorientation and inner turbulence of reclaiming routine after trauma. With warm, layered instrumentation—featuring members of Florist and Told Slant—and Friedman’s aching vocals at the center, New Thing radiates vulnerability and quiet strength. Produced by James Chrisman (Sister.), it’s an evocative testament to healing through creation.
This song is not just a milestone in her journey—it’s a sonic embrace for anyone reclaiming themselves.
