New Earth Farmers – The Good Ones Got Away
One Lip Luca
With their first full-length album, the songwriting due of Nicole Storto and Paul Knowles put their talents of full display, providing a delectable feast after their enjoyable EP appetizer. Touching various realms of folk, Americana, rock, and country, there is a sultry groove to the music here, often unleashing subtle intensities that really draw the listener into their world. The opening track “Oh Mary” has an emotional vibe that feels uplifting and passionate. Tunes like “Judgement Day” and “Waiting Such a Long, Long Time” infuse a bit more rock, the later feeling like something that could happen if John Mellencamp did something with The Killers. The gritty blues rock of “The Garden” unleashes the full arsenal of musical talents that were very noticeable on earlier tracks but really take flight here. With lyrics conveying poignant stories and feelings, augmented by powerful and sometimes ethereal vocal work really helps this excellent effort shine brightly. Look out for this group! – MW
