Your Only Friend is the second studio album by Ehron VonAllen. Released on Hydrology Records on July 4, 2005, it was the firsttime VonAllen had produced his album independently. There were no specific singles pushed from the album. It was marketed as a whole work and not broken up into different songs. In fact, no remixes have ever been released from the album making it the only Ehron VonAllen cd to do so.
This album is widely considered to be a fan favorite, however while being successful, it hasn't sold as many units as his debut album "Incarnation" and "The Sin Of Nature".
The album originally was intended to be called "Attrition" which actually had artwork for the CD already drawn up with this title on it and with an entirely different cover. The song "Attrition" later was included on VonAllen's fourth studio album The Sin Of Nature.
The first track "Shattered" was originally to be a short introduction with only one verse of lyrics.
On the song "Love Is Strange" the main string theme that is heard looped throughout the song is actually a sample of three notes from Recoil's song "Strange Hours" from the album Liquid.Additionally while VonAllen usually writes his own lyrics, the ending of this song contains a few words from John Lennon's song "Oh My Love".1 of 2 drum patterns heard at the outro of the song is a sample of the main drum pattern from Depeche Mode's "World In My Eyes".This song was more of a tribute to several of his favorite artists than anything else.
"My Desire" is sung by R&B vocalist Morgan Hinton.
"Trial of Jealousy" was the first song written for "Your Only Friend".
"The Statue of Night" is a sequel to the song "The Statue of Light"
This album is to be reissued in fall 2014. The songs are being reworked, remixed and remastered while the artwork is staying intact. The reissue will also include never released remixes and demos from the "Your Only Friend" recording sessions. New track order uncertain.
