Public Universal Friend (sometimes known simply as PUF) is an Indianapolis-based art rock band. Its 2021 debut served as a coming out record for frontwoman Jody Galadriel Friend, disclosing her gay trans womanhood by way of its release. release PUF describes the new release, Chrysalis, as “laced with the bold romance and profound grief of southern gothic deconstruction, wherein Friend’s poetic incantations carry pointed lyricism: a vindictive queering of Friend’s homegrown southern sound.”
