ALLOTMENTS, Farina's second album with Pickled Egg,
marks the latest stage in a musical journey that has
lasted nearly 25 years. Since 1981 Mark Brend and Matt
Gale have ploughed a defiantly singular furrow through
left-field pop, crafting irregular releases that only
sometimes line up with the zeitgeist, and then usually
by chance.
Here, joined by Cliff Glanfield and Tim Conway û
relative newcomers with 10 and five yearsÆ service
respectively û they once again match elegant songcraft
with subtle experimentation and inventive arrangements.
With all four members singing, and between them drawing
on an instrumental palette that includes not only
guitar, bass, drums and keyboards, but more exotic
colours like autoharp and flugelhorn, Allotments is an
album of layers and depth.
We use LAME 3.97 now, which is approved.
