Boy Friend - Egyptian Wrinkle

“…cavernous, ghostly dream-pop vibes” – Gorilla vs. Bear
“Egyptian Wrinkle comprises 10 tracks of such relentlessly haunting grace and ethereal force you have to marvel at their consistency, and also wonder what on earth it is that has happened in their young lives to make them make music like this.” – Guardian UK Band Of The Day
“Egyptian Wrinkle” wistfully swirls together thick guitar and long-tail electronics like honey and milk over Sleepytime Tea.” - FADER
“…the iridescent and sensual sounds the pair create are every bit as compelling and
beautiful as anything their former band did, if not even more so” – Wears the Trousers

Boy Friend is best buds Christa Palazzolo and Sarah Brown. With a creative partnership that combines different stylistic preferences and attitude with a passion for fantasy, narratives and dreamy, lovesick lyrics, their song writing is led by strong lead vocal and guitar melodies layered in harmonies, ambiance, and thick atmospheric backdrops.

The two have collaborated on several projects together in their 15 year friendship, but it wasn't until the end of 2010 while going through the break-up from their last band Sleep∞Over that they regrouped to record their first EP as a duo. It was a heavily charged "break-up" album disguised in hazy undertones and big choruses. The following spring they recorded their Lovedropper 7", and by Summer of 2011 recorded their first full-length, entitled Egyptian Wrinkle, in a friend's house in north Austin surrounded by dogs, bongos, and plenty of warm Texan vibes.

*LP on pink marble vinyl. Limited to 1000 + includes digital download coupon.
