ARTIST: FARAO
ALBUM: TILL IT'S ALL FORGOTTEN
LABEL: FULL TIME HOBBY
We first picked up on Farao (Kari Johnson) earlier last year with the release of her self titled EP through Something Nothing Records. We were suitably impressed with that effort and so therefore the arrival of her debut album 'Till It's All Forgotten' has been high on our 'must listen to' list.
The 10-track record came out last week through Full Time Hobby and was produced by Mike Lindsay (Tunng) and mixed by Andrew Scheps, with the Norwegian multi-instrumentalist, songwriter, and singer, clearly putting a lot of thought and effort into it's creation. There are layers upon layers of intricate electronics and guitars, alongside which are horn sections, synths and piano parts.
Imagine a Radiohead and Bat For Lashes type equation and you'll be getting somewhere close to how this album sounds. It shimmers and moves effortlessly between tracks, with genres and ideas blurred together creating something quite special and rewarding on those repeated listens!
