Friko have announced their upcoming new album, Something Worth Waiting For, out April 24 via ATO. After a relentless touring schedule following their 2024 debut album, Where We’ve Been, Where We Go from Here, they found inspiration from their constant motion over the past two years to make a body of work that reflects that constant movement.
“If the general theme of the record is transit, then the title gets at the idea of always moving toward something you never quite seem to reach,” vocalist/guitarist Niko Kapetan says. “That might sound pessimistic, but maybe the reaching isn’t necessarily the point,” drummer Bailey Minzenberger adds. “I think life is meant to bring new experiences so that your world is ever-expanding, and not about constantly striving to achieve one particular thing.”

The first song from Something Worth Waiting For is “Seven Degrees,” a track built around the idea that even if two people haven’t met yet, there are only a handful of connections between them. The music video for the track features the band performing during a remote-controlled car race.
