Album Notes

Heralding from the critically acclaimed rock band Opium Den, Ms. Farrington, in her solo debut, forges a sonic, soul-searching path from the past to the future, skillfully blending influences of tribal, rock, blues, ethnic, folk, goth, hip-hop, and transcendental poetry into one seamless beautiful journey.

"I grew up on a farm, miles from our nearest neighbor with my five sisters and brothers. My Father was a transcendentalist, piano player and merchant, spouting Emerson and Thoreau.

"My Mother was a scholar and nurse, who would take us on nature walks and painting trips through the 200 acres of wilderness were we lived. This childhood made me see the world in a most unusual and spontaneous way........then I moved to New York City, where I studied acting and began touring with a repertoire company.

"I picked up the guitar and began composing. After two years in New York I ventured to Boston and formed Opium Den. The band started out as a freestyle experimental act, the music being a spontaneous mix of tribal Middle Eastern melodies and soaring siren vocals with post apocalyptic urgencies. We quickly became recognized as pioneers in the Goth movement."

Annette honed her unique style in the dark and cool clubs in the Boston music scene where audiences are hip and demanding. She quickly won them over while receiving rave reviews from the press and several nominations for best vocalist and best new artist at the American Music Awards and Boston Music Awards.

For this solo album she has teamed up with six-time gold record winning producer Anthony Resta, who has worked with such diverse artists as Elton John, Megadeth, Duran Duran, Collective Soul and Shawn Mullens.
