"My Friends Became Junkies is the debut album from a San Francisco 'studio' band headed up by Michigan transplant Sam Goldman, who performed on the final recordings of the late great Slovenly. There's no way to neatly encapsulate what it is that Baculum do over the 19 songs here, since the results are so wide-ranging and uncategorizable. There is some great, wiry rock, rustic Americana-tinged campfire songs, atmospheric ambient studio fuckery, slinky noir-nightclub shuffle, ethereal John Fahey-meets-This Kind of Punishment art-rock, and more. It's a sonic cousin to such fellow travelers as the aforementioned Slovenly, Mayo Thompson's Red Krayola, This Kind of Punishment, the Toiling Midgets, the Fish & Roses country-blues side-project Peach Cobbler, and Tom Waits."
