Their music features minimalistic sounds and driving beats combined with various organic instrumentation - from autoharps and ukuleles to harpsichords and dulcimers. Seyrat's breathy, soft, French-accented vocals combine hauntingly with Driscoll's in both English and French.
Their single Earthquake was released out in 2012 via their own label Caveman Arts Society.
Friends And Enemies
Freedom Fry Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
None of their eyes get close, to me,
Start out not holding stones,
But in the end we're enemies,
Looking out the wonder,
Keep me caged up under till I crack the walls, till I crack the walls,
On the bus and under,
All my friends are all my ene-enemies,
Know where to put the knife if they could,
All the nights and days they said they needed me,
Even if it was a lie it was good,
Ups and downs,
We're friends and enemies,
We're friends and enemies
Caught in the open close,
Are you feeling the overdose, with me?
When you're standing me up I'm dead,
'Cause in the end you're all I need,
Looking out the wonder,
Keep me caged up under till I crack the walls, till I crack the walls,
On the bus and under,
Keep me happy waiting, till I crack the walls, till I crack the walls
All my friends are all my ene-enemies,
Know where to put the knife if they could,
All the nights and days they said they needed me,
Even if it was a lie it was good,
Ups and downs,
We're friends and enemies,
We're friends and enemies
We're friends and enemies,
We're friends and enemies
Aooooooooo
All my friends are all my ene-enemies,
Know where to put the knife if they could,
All the nights and days they said they needed me,
Even if it was a lie it was good,
We're friends and enemies,
We're friends and enemies
We're friends and enemies,
We're friends and enemies

They start out wanting to keep peace, but in the end, they become enemies.
The chorus, "All my friends are all my enemies, Know where to put the knife if they could, All the nights and days they said they needed me, Even if it was a lie it was good, Ups and downs, We're friends and enemies" seems to suggest that the singer recognizes that their friends are not entirely truthful with them. The phrase "know where to put the knife if they could" implies that they are willing to betray the singer if it is to their advantage.
The second verse, "Caught in the open close, Are you feeling the overdose, with me? When you're standing me up I'm dead, 'Cause in the end you're all I need" suggests that the singer is dependent on their friendships, even though they recognize that their friends are not entirely trustworthy.
