Syko Friend’s third LP, ‘The Code,’ wanders endless margins and endless centers, reveling in every sound, every feeling, every word. It balances the vastness of choice with the certainty of an individual path. This path belongs to Sophie Weil, the sole member of Syko Friend, who acknowledges this swing of extremes, this movement from the center to the edge: “I do want people to understand what’s going on,” she affirms, “but I know it’s weird.”

‘The Code’ is the result of a year of recorded explorations, an unprecedented process in Syko Friend’s existence. Countless demos chipped each song into its best, most potent form. The songs are shorter and more direct than on past records, speaking to a purposeful, stripped down confidence that buoys each of these 11 songs. Working again with Evan Burrows and Robbie Cody, who recorded Syko Friend’s 2020 LP ‘Fontanelle,’ Weil credits the shared language developed between the three of them with nurturing this record that can run tense and fragile and massive and skeletal but never once runs false.
