FARMERS MARKET – SLAV TO THE RHYTHM, OUT MARCH 4th ON DIVISION RECORDS
\n\u201cthe world\u2019s greatest musical stew\u2026\u201d VF<\/p>\n
Twenty years in the making, the Norwegian prog ensemble Farmers Market remains as equally musically complex as they are critically acclaimed. Following their 2008 outing \u201cSurfin\u2019 USSR\u201d (on Mike Patton\u2019s Ipecac Recordings), the new recordings on \u201cSlav to the Rhythm\u201d have been released by the Oslo-based label Division Records to rave reviews in Norway, and are now set to be released on an unsuspecting British audience.<\/p>\n
The former album earned them a Norwegian Grammy in the award ceremony\u2019s open category. A well deserved one, considering their 1991 launch as a free jazz quintet and – with instruments including accordion, kaval, gaida, pedal steel, alt sax, clarinet, banjo, guitars, drums and bass – further venturing into Bulgarian folk and other directions in music. They are still musically open-minded, this time having dug deep into the musical legacy of their forefathers.<\/p>\n
The new songs constitute a surplus orgy of unrestrained, guitar-based and rhythmic melodies, with nods to progressive rock, gypsy traditions, orchestral music, country and vintage \u201870s soundtracks. Accompanying the five band members – Stian Carstensen, Trifon Trifonov, Nils-Olav Johansen, Jarle Vespestad and Finn Guttormsen – are musicians from Norway, India and Bulgaria.<\/p>\n
