Four minutes into the future of British indie, Make Friends‘ ‘Maybe Tomorrow‘ arrives with all the urgency of a late-night dash for the last train home.
The Bristol quartet has managed something notable – capturing lightning in a bottle while letting it crackle with its own electric life, owing as much to Bombay Bicycle Club’s rhythmic complexity as it does to their own evolving sonic identity.
Under Ed Nash’s production guidance, the track pulses with smart arrangements and clever hooks that dodge obvious comparisons. It’s in the way the guitars circle each other like wary dancers, how the rhythm section keeps one foot in dance music without losing its rock heart, and how Tom Andrew’s vocals cut through the mix with refreshing clarity. This isn’t just a band making friends with their influences – it’s a band making something entirely their own.
