Austin by way of Brooklyn-based songwriter and
life-long road warrior, Chris McFarland,
is continuing his latest round of touring in support of his new release, the “Beauty and Undertow” EP. The recording is McFarland’s sixth collection of “angry folk” songs, and is out now
via the End Up label.
Popular music discovery website My Old Kentucky Blog recently posted glowing review of the album
here: http://www.myoldkentuckyblog.com/?p=33950. The EP’s latest single, “Simple Selfish Plan” 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 of his
paring with the members of Rainer Maria.
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
recently embarked on a month-long tour of the US next week to promote “Beauty and Undertow” and has now added
additional dates. See below for details.
Chris
McFarland is available for interviews.
