“Wild
Abandon” is the first single from the upcoming “Beauty and Undertow” EP
+++
Austin by way of Brooklyn-based songwriter Chris McFarland will release the “Beauty and Undertow” EP, his sixth
collection of “angry folk” songs on August 21st via the End Up label. The EP’s first single “Wild Abandon” is available for streaming and download now.
“Beauty and
Undertow” is the realization of a
long-held dream of McFarland’s to
reunite the members of groundbreaking emo group Rainer Maria for the first time since that band’s break up in late
2006.
“Kyle (Fischer, Rainer Maria guitarist) and I have been best friends for the last
23 years,” says McFarland. Bill (Kuehn, Rainer Maria
drummer) has been one of my favorite drummers for many years and Caithlin (De Marrais, Rainer Maria
vocalist) was on my last EP.” When it came time to plan this new record, McFarland says he “just had to approach
them all about being on it with me.”
A true road warrior, McFarland can be found crisscrossing the United States several
months of the year, wearing down his late-model Martin acoustic with his ceremonial
self-eviscerations. McFarland will
embark on a five-week tour of the US in late August to promote “Beauty and Undertow”. Dates to be
announced shortly.
