Topic: Farmhouse (album)


In the News (Sun 3 Jun 12)

  
  Farmhouse (album) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Farmhouse is the eleventh studio album by the American jam band Phish.
The songwriting on the album was a joint effort between Trey Anastasio and Tom Marshall along with Tony Markellis, Russ Lawton, and Scott Herman.
It was the last Phish studio album before their indefinite hiatus in October 2000.

However, with their new release, Farmhouse, the band continues its recent studio trend of tightening things up a bit while capturing their in-concert vibe (or at least as much as they can when whittling down 15 minute plus songs down to a mere four minutes).
In fact, the selections on this album may be the band's most "accessible" songs to the uninitiated or casual listener.
Farmhouse may very well do for Phish (for better or worse) what In The Dark did for the Grateful Dead back in 1987.

 Phish: Farmhouse (Elektra Entertainment, 2000.05.16)
Their rootsiest and most organic effort to date, Farmhouse is also their most fully developed — these are complete, concise songs and not simply outlines for extended jams, boasting a beauty and intimacy which expands the group's scope even as it serves notice of a newfound pop accessibility.
In short, Farmhouse is everything Phish's die-hard legions no doubt hoped it wouldn't be, but as a radical reassessment of their music's purpose and approach, in many ways it's closer to the band's true spirit of innovation than any record they've made.
Farmhouse doesn't show that vibe in full effect, but it instead allows a much broader look into one of rock's most enduring and eclectic groups.

Sadly, their next album, Rift, would not be so lucky, as this concept album of sorts collapsed under its own artistic weight.
As a result, Farmhouse not only boasts a number of wonderful, and wonderfully-beautiful songs (most notably the opening title track), but is also their first album since Hoist not to get a bit slow at times.
Whether the band continue with the careful, studied path of Farmhouse or will ultimately swing back around the loose, improvised feel of Junta may not be known for a while, as the band are taking an indefinite break from each other, the studio, and the road.

Unfortunately, the album fails to capture the fire and froth of John Scofield live, but it succeeds admirably as a showcase of John Scofield as composer, bandleader, and living legend of the electric guitar.
Each individual album from any particular band serves as a testament, a measuring stick of sorts, marking where a band is in the present and pointing to where they are going in the future.
This album came as a complete shock to me. I thought I was in for some Irish jamband, taking a traditional tune and playing it for twenty minutes, with some bagpipe solos and other crap like that.

Phish's newest album, and last under their contract with electra, is in my opinion their best studio album, and I know I share that opinion with many of the band's loyal fans.
I sense a nature theme is the newest album by Phish, entitled "Farmhouse." First of all, the cover art is of an outhouse door; but you have to look beyond that.
Farmhouse was recorded over a period of several weeks in guitarist Trey Anastasio's farmhouse in northern Vermont, and reflects the...

 FARM REPORT
Farmhouse was the first major project done at the Barn, a studio custom-designed by and for Phish in a 150-year-old barn on the side of the mountain.
On the way to the farmhouse for the first time, the northern lights were out and we pulled the car over and were standing in the road, freaking out and everything.
We wrote "Farmhouse" within five minutes: threw the doors open, the Northern Lights were out, we were on the porch, and the farmhouse was behind us, and there was this note from the cleaning lady that said, "Welcome, this is a farmhouse." We just instantly started.

 Phish Farmhouse Album Review
Farmhouse is a typical example of this, featuring as it does some songs that have been in circulation for close on three years (Piper, Dirt) along with others such as Gotta Jibboo, Bug and First Tube that were highlights of the 1999 shows.
It's not their best studio album and as I personally don't consider any of them worthy (or should that be unworthy?) of being called the worst it probably fits somewhere in the middle.
For a Phish album this probably rates 8+ out of 10, for anybody else recording at the moment it would have to be a 10 of 10.

But instead of releasing an album of the extended improvisations for which the band is best known, this time out they concentrated on songwriting.
Farmhouse is a much more 'song-oriented' album, and the result is more cohesive and ultimately enjoyable than anything they've released since the band's excellent Billy Breathes record in 1996.
Farmhouse may or may not garner new fans for the band.

While this album is the ninth album, it remains closer in spirit to the early Go-betweens albums, Before Hollywood and Spring Hill Fair.
In "German Farmhouse", a jaunty rock 'n roll tune recalling 60s mod Stones, Forster sings in his most charmingly affected manner, almost speaking the lyrics like a disaffected Lou Reed.
The songs, as on previous albums, are split equally between McLennan and Forster, but their instrumental playing unifies the two in technical skill and lively, easy warmth.

 Phish: Farmhouse - PopMatters Music Review
Fans of Phish rush to the store, wait sometimes hours in line for the stroke of midnight, and hope Phish's latest studio album will live up to their hopes that it will either replicate the atmosphere of the band's live performances or break new grounds as impressively as their earlier ecordings.
Phish latest, Farmhouse, attempts to capture a more intimate, mature sound than previous attempts, but most "Phishheads" will probably put their headphones down after the 49 minutes and shake their heads in disappointment.
Farmhouse, recorded in Anastasio's barn in Vermont over the course of a few weeks in October 1999, is not a bad album, but it does Phish little justice.

The album was recorded live in the studio and it shows not only Innes' on-the-spot expressiveness, but the band's cohesiveness with drummer Rob Brian standing out.
Farmhouse blues is a set of Innes originals along with songs by Willie Dixon, Otis Rush and Tampa Red, but the essence of the album is Innes' playing and singing.
"Desert Rain" is the album’s most compelling Track a slow blues number that digs a deep groove (with thanks to bassist Leslie)and backfills it with the emotion born of dedicating it to a late friend.

I love that album, and when the album is over, I feel like I know everything about them: where they live, and what it is like for them.
This last album, the recording of this last album, combined with the New Year's show, are two of the best events we as a foursome have ever experienced together.

 RARB Review of Brown Derbies - Hybrid
Frat-boy rock is the theme of the latest Brown Derbies album, a pleasant-enough romp though mainstream college radio.
Speaking of the mix, the five Derbies who produced this album should consider renting themselves out to groups that can't put this kind of work together themselves.
The album is a true hybrid of alternative and jam band, new wave and techno, R&B and guitar-rock — something for everyone.

The only TSAC album I had before this was "The Biz", but I generally like to get the artists most recent albums before I get the older ones.
This album, their self-titled debut, is a rare case of a band sounding fully mature on their debut.
While their work on The Fawn and later albums is undeniably TSAC in its sound, it is remarkably different than their first three albums.

 Observer Newspaper - Scene
The album is roughly 80 minutes long and is by far the most relaxed Phish album to date.
Fans who have only recently discovered Phish through their latest albums Farmhouse and Story of the Ghost may have a hard time getting a feel for this album because it has many longer jams and is less poppy.
As well, the album has many nonsense lyrics such as "Threshold, skin, fortress, win a life of sin." But this lack of lyrical meaning is not a weakness; it only makes the songs more fun and spontaneous.

 New Gibraltar Encyclopedia of Progressive Rock PH-PL
The album highlights include the superimposed pianos and guitars that spell out the stern mediaeval melody of "Ouverture XV"; the gorgeous symphonic cavalcade of "Sotto i ponti"; and the hide-and-seek between spinet, hyperkinetic piano and a hazy female voice in "Arlecchinata", a song that swings effortlessly from romantic rhapsodising to Tom and Jerry chases.
This is an album that will quite probably strike the listener as tuneful but shallow on first listen, but further exposure will reveal it to be just as intricate and experimental as the big-name Italian progressive bands in their prime, just far less bombastic and flashy in its execution.
The drummer on this album is Antoine Paganotti, current vocalist and sometime drummer for the current incarnation of Magma (and also the son of former Magma bassist Bernard Paganotti), and his drum work is very fluid and loose...

The album's title track, a countryish evocation of Anastasio's new Vermont studio, is both endearing and catchy, so much so that phrases like "every man returns to dust" and the shameless Bob Marley rip are easily forgiven.
But ultimately "Farmhouse" exposes the dirty little secret of Phish: The band has not wanted for radio time because of their jam-band rep, but because their songs lack the punch needed for drive-time success.
The album's best tracks -- the white-boy funk of "Gotta Jibboo," the exponentially expanding "Piper" -- yearn to stretch out and be given their full due; in concert, no doubt, they will become more potent.

It seems that A Live One was a farewell to the loony, random sounds of Rift and Picture of Nectar since their past albums have been extremely mellow.
Where their music could once be associated with acid and uppers, recent discs have gravitated towards red wine and sensimilla, reflecting a more refined and seasoned approach to their music.
Farmhouse is a glimpse at an older, more reflective group who is trying to mature along with their fans.

This album is dedicated to new Phish phans who like many enjoy listening to their supremely crystal clear and unique sounds.
This album feels as if it appeals to little children since the cell membranes of Phish all have reproduced and created young phish of their own.

The result, "Took It All," is one of the most powerful songs on 'Names.' Harmer was so pleased with the results that she decided to record her new album primarily in her Quaker Valley, Ontario farmhouse.
Recorded over the course of a year, 'Names' is an album of remarkable intimacy, pings and all.
From the simple pleasures of a wintry walk in the countryside ("Pendulums" - the album's lead-off track), to reflections on human potential ("Dandelions in Bullet Holes" - a song Harmer calls "the spine of the album"), Harmer wraps a world around her unique blend of roots, pop and folk sensibilities.
