Album Notes

“The Weight Of A Gun” is the new album being released
by Of Love Possessed-providing the soundtrack for those
sleepless nights at the terminal end of a relationship.

"Randy Farmers' stand and deliver poetic style is very reminiscent of the Velvet Underground's Lou Reed" and throughout Farmer comfortably delivers her Americana/Indie narrative which she established as part of her trademark sound with the release of her first two records as the lead singer and songwriter in Siberia.

Farmer, the soulful New Orleans native comes back to deliver songs "full of vivid, fragmented imagery about life, death, loss and redemption.”

"The Weight Of A Gun" is also the third CD co-written by Randy Farmer & John (West) Mitchell, who first teamed up to record Damage in '97' for Necessary Records as Siberia.

Mitchell & Farmer who were the founders of the seminal 90's rock band Siberia have joined up once again to deliver a deeply felt musical experience, rich in guitar riffs and soulful lyrics which make this CD a great sounding record.

Recorded in various studios in and around Williamsburg & NYC, this lavish production with it's stellar cast is laced with guitars, piano, strings, horns and slide which weave through out this beautifully executed album.

"The help we received on this recording made it especially satisfying, and we would like to acknowledge the following artists"-

Ken Rich on Bass (Julia Darling, Lou Reed, David Byrne, Joseph Arthur, Laurie Anderson, and Deborah Harry)

As Siberia Farmer & Mitchell released "Damage" in 1997 and "Harm's Way" in 2004 (also available on CDbaby) and here's what some of the reviewer comments say about “Harms Way”

“Moody, dark, brooding, Siberia Randy Farmer’s voice moves easily through the many moods of Siberia, imparting a breathy somberness to rock tracks and a surreal shimmer to softer songs like the trip-hop-infused "Vessel." The combination is somehow both icy and warm.”

"Sometimes haunting, other times beautiful...
Pop Matters.

“Their music never shakes its inherent chill -- it's solitary stuff that might well have been written and recorded on a distant, lifeless plain. The stark, murky lyrical references offer a truly cathartic listening experience -- you're right there with Farmer, experiencing her pain and rebirth.”...Splendid Magazine

“Evoking night rides on dark country highways, ghostly love stories told at night in abandoned fields, and funerals held in snowy, bare farm communities: the feeling here is of the passion and complexity to be found among the wreckage and empty miles of the Gothic America the band seems to revere and delight in visiting”...Left Off The Dial
