Debby Friday's first two eps brought together on vinyl for the first time ever, released in celebration of her recent signing to Sub Pop. Hard industrial beats and smooth, erotic vocals bring a unique power to DEBBY's work, only matched by her confident visual style.
The usual boom-and-bust cycles of growing up - breaking down, gathering the strength to get up, fumbling hard, doing it all over again - can feel unmooring, to say the least, but, and according to Debby Friday, it's tragedies and glories need savoring.

Late-night YouTube tutorials on music production led to an EP, BITCHPUNK, and BITCHPUNK led to her first public performances, and all that gave way to a second EP, DEATH DRIVE. Her art endowed her with the strength she needed to move on. InchThis is what I was born to do,Inch she goes. InchIt came to me so naturally and instinctively.InchSo what does it take to hone that power? Discipline - routines, rituals; an MFA, practices of writing and filmmaking, and music-making that guide a person from one day to the next - but something close to mysticism, too.
