Sweet Melancholic Indie Folk and Pop: Farewood's sound suggests a source of youthful vibrancy at the end of innocence without a trace of the precocious or malevolent. Safely out of Reach, their second album, displays a range of moods: Upbeat attitude in "Playin the Scenes" and "Monday Morning Train," mellow joy effected by pretty female voice and enhanced by acoustic guitar in "The Fall," and darker, more sorrowful sentiments evoked powerfully in "Candle" and "The One Who Disappeared" (The latter being my favorite track here). The essence of Farewood is a combination of acoustic and jangly electric guitars, minor key bass harmonies, easy going drum lines, and exceptional male and female vocals. The occasional addition of peripheral samples, dramatic guitar effects, and diverse percussive instruments adds to the fullness and character of their sound without overcoming the pure emotion of these sweet, often melancholy songs. In all, this album provides a nice, gentle listening session.
