Ross From Friends announces debut album, shares lead single, ‘Project Cybersyn’

Ross From Friends is the internet’s best friend, especially for those that spend a significant amount of time perusing YouTube‘s lo-fi house. Spend enough time in these dizzying catacombs, and Ross’ prevalent lo-fi chiller “Talk To Me You’ll Understand” is bound to work its way into the rotation.

What’s especially unique about the London producer, born Felix Weatherall, is that’s he one of the few lo-fi acts who actively embraced his production prowess, quite reminiscent to the ascension of chillwave’s Ernest Greene or Washed Out. Last year in an interview, Weatherall said, “I’ve been trying to keep up this persona of being goofy, and people have really reacted to that.” Now, Ross From Friends seems to be breaking free of those self-imposed restrictions.

Fresh off the more recent success of his EP, Aphelion, released just this April, Weatherall’s announced a new album, Family Portrait.

Characterized by the same experimentation and obsessive attention to detail that saw out Ross From Friends rise to fame, Family Portrait marries carefully crafted production and heavy saturated spaces. Family Portrait is preceded by its first single “Project Cybersyn” which demonstrates Weatherall’s amicable ability to shift and evolve, transitioning from the world of lo-fi to the world of FlyLo, his Brainfeeder overseer.

Ross From Friends has also announced his first-ever US shows in conjunction with the announcement.
