Radical Friendship Theory was formed through a collection of like-minded musicians.

Radical Friendship Theory is a collaborative recording born from genuine musical friendships spanning Glasgow, London, Kent, Berlin, Vienna, and southern Spain. Conceived by acclaimed songwriter Robert Rotifer after encouraging longtime collaborator Kenji to return to singing, the project gradually evolved into a richly arranged collection featuring an exceptional cast of musicians including John Howard, Helen McCookerybook, Ian Button, and The Zew. Every participant contributes lead vocals while joining together in layered harmonies, making the album itself a living expression of its title.

Musically, the record moves effortlessly through baroque pop, psychedelic pop, country rock, and literate indie songwriting, united by Robert Rotifer's melodic craftsmanship and thoughtful lyrics exploring friendship, mutual support, creativity, and finding genuine human connection in an increasingly digital world. Beginning as simple home demos, the songs gradually blossomed into sophisticated ensemble arrangements without sacrificing their warmth or intimacy.

Presented on CD, Radical Friendship Theory celebrates collaboration not merely as a concept but as an artistic practice, resulting in a heartfelt collection of beautifully crafted songs created by an extraordinary circle of friends.
