We Found a Lovebird celebrates the release of their latest album, With Friends Like These, featuring the angular and biting focus track, “Details.” Since 2009, the band has been crafting trance-like, chiming rock, earning critical acclaim with four albums, one EP, and ten singles to date – including a Polaris Music Prize nomination and steady airplay from CBC and KEXP.
“Details” is a grouchy plea to be spared unnecessary information, set to an angular chord progression and a raw, “warts and all” sound. The track features a completely off-the-cuff guitar solo that, while in the wrong key, perfectly suits the song’s cranky energy.
With Friends Like These highlights themes of enduring love, friendship, and the transformative power of music. The album embraces a raw, live-off-the-floor recording approach, capturing the spirit of timeless rock and roll.
The songs we listen to can become our closest friends. They transport us, jolt us awake, and remind us of what really matters. “Details” came from channeling that one friend we all have who gives way more detail than anyone needs. The title itself is a plea: spare us the details! The chord progression and cranky energy give it an angular, slightly aggressive vibe. – Larry Lechner (Lead Vocals/Guitar)
We Found a Lovebird excels at trance-like, chiming rock. Since 2009, they’ve released four albums, one EP, and eight singles, with highlights including a Polaris Music Prize nomination and radio support from CBC and KEXP. With Friends Like These continues their tradition of blending elegant guitar interplay with evocative lyrics.
Often compared to iconic New York rock bands, We Found a Lovebird evokes comparisons to Television (Deluxe Hotel, 2019) and a more tuneful Richard Hell & the Voidoids (With Friends Like These, 2025).
