Ross From Friends released his new album Tread on October 22, via Brainfeeder. He now shares the official video for “Love Divide” directed by Scottish filmmaker Bryan M. Ferguson, celebrated for his ability to juxtapose the uncanny and the surreal. Additionally, he announces new US tour dates for 2022.

Ross From Friends’ 3-man live show—comprising Felix, Jed Hampson & John Dunk—that delivers a killer blend of live musicianship (guitar, keys and sax) and electronics, highlights include, stops at Glastonbury, Primavera, and Sonar to name a few. In March 2022 Felix heads out to North America for his first live shows since 2019 for an East coast run with stops in Miami, Chicago, Denver, New York, Philadelphia and Montreal.

Over the course of writing the album, Felix created a detailed, timestamped, personal musical memoir in the form of an audio library. He named it Thresho after a free Max for Live software plugin that he conceived and built to improve his workflow. Thresho was at the very heart of the creation of Tread and last week Felix shared the massive audio bank with fans: https://thresho.rossfromfriends.net. The archive offers the rare opportunity to peek behind the curtain at the process of one of the most exciting producers in the electronic realm and also the opportunity to creatively interact with the library of about 2000 recordings. On the site you can scroll to a specific date and time, listen to, and download all the recordings for free.

Ross From Friends on “Love Divide:”

“The first time I heard the track it really made me feel nostalgic for a time when I’d been a teenager hopping the music channels in the early hours. It evoked that insomniac, after hours vibe for me – which lends itself to warranting a strange visual component,” explains Bryan. “The song has this sound that’s completely dream-like and fun but at times forlorn, so with the video I wanted to try and capture that same feeling by making something that doesn’t take itself too seriously and blends melancholy with surrealism.”
