Digital Regress / US / 2023
Proud to present this debut solo outing from R.J.F. a textural patchwork of minimal melodic-inflections with room to wade in and out of. R.J.F., better known as Ross Farrar – obvious bona-fides intact – (Ceremony, Crisis Man, Spice) takes a step back from pummeling, driving front-man duties to weave ardent pieces driven by hooking lines and textures woven artfully together. Meditations on adapting lifestyles, daily-life, moving forward, stray cats looking for homes, and finding how to make sense of it all in a world always changing. Recorded with a mostly budget set-up, (bass, keyboards, drums, sparse guitars) leaving a lot of open air in the record, and amplifying the earnestness of the whole endeavor.
