Friko has released "Dirty Diamond," a new bonus song from the expanded version of their album Something Worth Waiting For.

Niko Kapetan says the track is "One of our most sinister sounding songs to date," and that it was once a "6 minute epic" before being trimmed in the studio when the band recorded it. It was released with the announcement, after "Necessary" from the same expanded package.

The debut record came out in April and has since gained wider notice for the Chicago group.

Something Worth Waiting For (Expanded Edition) arrives 9/11 via ATO.
