The
first
full‐length
solo
release
in
a
decade
by
cult
post‐ punk
veteran
Geoff
Farina.
Mastered
by
Bob
Weston
and
 released
on
CD
digipack
by
DAMNABLY.

Geoff
Farina
recently
spent
a
year
living
in
a
small
New
England
town
along
the
Kennebeck
River
in
Maine,
where
 he
wrote
the
ten
vivid
songs
that
constitute
his
first
full‐ length
solo
release
in
a
decade.

“My
wife
and
I
moved
to
 Maine
following
her
one­year
teaching
contract
at
Colby
 College.
We
expected
to
miss
the
city,
but
life
along
the
 river
turned
out
to
be
quite
interesting.
”
Local
culture
 inevitably
found
its
way
into
Geoff’s
music:
“Hammer
and
 Spade”
recounts
the
proud
struggles
of
region’s
original
 settlers,
“Prelapsarian”
squints
at
the
world
through
the
 delusional
eyes
of
the
local
heroine
addict,
“Twilit”
 echoes
the
muted
pleadings
of
the
divorcing
couple
living
 in
the
basement
apartment,
and
“Prick
Up
Your
Ears”
 captures
a
small
town’s
cautious
patriotism
as
their
National
Guardsmen
ceremoniously
cast
off
to
 Afghanistan
and
Iraq.
