"Evil Friends" is the title track of Portugal. The Man's seventh album, and it went out as a single in May 2013, a few days ahead of the record's June release on Atlantic. It's also the sound of a new partnership: the album was the band's first go-round with Danger Mouse, who produced the song, and they spent the early part of the year hinting at the pairing with photos slipped onto Bonnaroo's Tumblr page.
John Baldwin Gourley wrote it with Brian Burton, and Kennie Takahashi recorded it with Todd Monfalcone and handled the mix. It sits alongside "Purple Yellow Red and Blue" and "Modern Jesus" among the singles the album sent out into the world.
