Brooklyn (via Cleveland, OH) artist Avery Friedman follows last year’s highly acclaimed debut album, New Thing, with the 'You Move' single and video, which is released ahead of her first European/UK tour (beginning October 31 at London Calling Festival in Amsterdam).

With Avery only beginning to write songs in the summer of 2023, April 2025’s New Thing surprised journalists with its confidence and realization, as Avery laid bare feelings of fear, queer joy, loss, and isolation. The album impressed sonically too, with Avery’s pitch-perfect expressions of vulnerability and sexuality supported by collaborations with producer James Chrisman (H. Pruz / Sister.) and percussionist Felix Walworth (Florist / Told Slant).

After the debut’s release, Avery began work on her second record, while remaining active by recording radio sessions for WNYU and WVKR, and sharing stages across the East Coast, West Coast, and Texas with Mt. Joy, Speedy Ortiz, Mallory Hawk, Hibou, Hudson Freeman, and Sean Solomon at events promoted by the likes of WFUV, Defector Media, and the Perrotin New York art gallery.

Aside from a demo contributed to the Artists United for a Free Palestine—Vol. II compilation for Merciless Accelerating Rhythms last year, 'You Move' is the first new material from Avery since her debut, and it hints at big, bold sounds for her second album in 2027.
