I caught the St. Albans based three-piece Farm during a summer's evening in Montpelier. My post-show review gave the following description of their sound: ...the music stayed nestled in that neverworld where blues-based stoner-rock and indie-Americana meet. The members constantly switch instruments, so there is no permanent player on anything. Usually that cuts too deeply into a band's consistency, but in this case it provides just the right amount of variety.
As there is no obvious head to this body of sound, I'm going to consider Ben Maddox, a Deep South transplant and downtown merchant, as nothing more and nothing less than one leg of the triad. He took a few minutes away from working on the band's debut double album (few rough versions available at Myspace) to provide the following:
Mr. Ambulance Driver by The Flaming Lips
The Eraser by Thom Yorke

That's a great description of Farm. Can I steal it? ;)
I smell a reviewing gig for jds.
I truly need some help from both of you. I've been so lazy about assigning stuff lately, but when we get back from break, I'm going on the offensive.
That's a Time guitar he's playing in the photo. A rare thing indeed.
I've been to the flying disc - best to happen to St A since the kept writer. nice job Ben
