We just can't get enough of Chris Farren (chrisfarren) this summer. On his fifth album, the LA singer/songwriter keeps up his winning streak with more infectious power-pop. Read our review of 'Doom Singer,' our latest Album of the Week, here:
, he shares his ideal conclusion: “Everything turns out great for me / There’s no discomfort or conflict.” It’s a fitting idea for the LA songwriter to be caught up in. Through his work in pop punk bands like Fake Problems and Antarctigo Vespucci, Farren has focused closely on chronicling situations of social and romantic discomfort.
Yearning for change is a driving force in Farren’s lyrics and nowhere is that clearer than on “All We Ever” and “Get Over U,” a one-two punch of falsely-cheery, guitar-driven pop songs. With “All We Ever,” Farren’s verses mostly consist of “I want” statements, before puncturing that with a dose of realism. “To just survive, that’s no reward” goes the hook. It’s a restless, itchy song––the keys on the chorus rarely stand still––but that energy culminates nicely in a brief, shrieking guitar solo.
