Brighton’s favourite indie pop troubadours Fickle Friends today release their eponymous third studio album, Fickle Friends via their own label, Palmeira Music. The four piece kick off their album release tour tonight, at their native town’s coveted Green Door Store. The tour has sold out in Brighton, London and Oxford - buy tickets for the remaining shows here.

With their self-titled album, Fickle Friends are rewriting their own story - a radiant indie pop record that marks both a return, and a rebirth. Entirely self-produced and creatively directed by the band, Fickle Friends is a true DIY triumph - proof of what happens when artists trust their instincts and embrace total independence. It’s a love letter to joy, friendship, and finding your way back to the things that make you feel alive.

On off-kilter, hypnotic focus track ‘Fantasy’, the band admits that the track originally started life in a writing session for a Norwegian artist, but when it didn’t find a home, there was a certain magnetism that pulled them back to it.

“It captures this brief chapter where I was trying to convince myself I could be the carefree, “no strings, no feelings, no rules” version of myself…dating for fun, being breezy and unattached, just living in the moment. Spoiler: that’s not me at all.” Natti confesses.

LISTEN TO ‘FANTASY’ HERE

Across Fickle Friends’ 11 tracks, the band capture the euphoria and chaos of being alive right now, marrying cosy production and huge hooks with lyrics that are both deeply personal and wildly relatable.

After years of relentless touring and two acclaimed albums, the band stepped back to breathe, to rediscover why they started making music in the first place. The break wasn’t just necessary, it was transformative. What emerged was a renewed sense of purpose, and the songs that would become Fickle Friends.

At its heart, this is an album about happiness. Messy, complicated, hard-won happiness. It celebrates the friends who lift you up, the nights that stretch until morning, the thrill of falling in love, and the joy of finally letting yourself live unapologetically.

“This album feels like the most authentic we’ve ever been,” says vocalist Natassja Shiner. “It’s the sound of falling back in love with music, with being a band, and with life itself. It’s honest and FUN.”

Fickle Friends are: Natassja Shiner (vocals, keys), Jack Wilson (keys), Harry Herrington (bass, backing vocals), Sam Morris (drums).
