An Old Friend

Sometimes a feeling becomes so powerful that it becomes psychedelic. It pulls the possessor of the emotion into a kind of altered, febrile, dreamlike state. If you're in proximity to someone overwhelmed by feeling, you might catch some of those hallucinatory vibrations yourself. Singer Cody Kohler of Long Island rock band An Old Friend isn't afraid to be a conduit of mighty emotional forces: when he sings, he allows himself to be swept away by a torrent of sentiment, and he expects his music to have the same effect on his listeners. Nobody goes to An Old Friend for a superficial experience. This music is immediate, intense, rapturous, and so drenched by feeling that it's positively otherworldly.
