Indie rockers Ra Ra Riot have released their second new track of the year, following May's "The Wish": the darkly theatric "Friendly Neighbor," available on streaming platforms today.
"Friendly Neighbor" took a long road to completion, having been worked and re-worked several times over the past decade and spanning writing and recording sessions for several albums - including 2016's Need Your Light and 2019's Superbloom.
