heylisten As a hug from a dear friend reassures, and as the sun piercing through the cracks of a dark, cold room may bring a warm glimmer of comfort, so does this album offer a chance of relief from the trouble outside.
Utterly magical and enchantingly uplifting, touching music, a godsend.
Thank you. Favorite track: Beautiful Change.

credits

released January 1, 2003

"Floating on the crushing strength of Peris' breathy, pitch-perfect voice, Befriended is a bucolic, nuanced bit of Sunday morning coffee-and-wistfulness, lovingly strummed acoustic guitars (augmented by the occasional organ line, sparingly applied upright bass, and light, flickering drums), rolling out time-tested chords with unwavering earnestness, revisiting the sweet, confessional early-70s folk of Joni Mitchell and the late-80s lilt of the Sundays and Cocteau Twins." - Pitchfork 2003
