Planet Farm is as much an attitude and approach to
music as it is a band. The approach is simple: make
music that provides the listener with a diverse aural
landscape that is unique enough to be interesting, yet
is just accessible enough to crank up on the boom box,
bust out the cheap light beer, and roast some weenies
with the fellas! Planet Farm's singable melodies and
tight rhythms grind together to spawn a wailing little
tyke with folk, electronic, jazz, and rock genes.
Imagine for a moment that Frankenstein were well cared
for emotionally and underwent thousands of dollars
worth of reconstructive surgery... um... forget
that...
Planet Farm's sound starts with songwriting. Themes
of identity formation in and information saturated
society, house pets, unemployment, and Zen Buddhism
swirl together in strong melodic compositions that are
supported by a jazz/funk rhythm section. The other
aspect of the Planet Farm sound is experimentation-
not that wacky new age stuff your parents put on at
Christmas, but a synthesis of acoustic and electronic
sounds that combine to form an elevator that takes you
just south of your consciousness (how's that for
entertainment! Please send us an email (under the CONTACT tab) and let us know what you think.
