New Far album: At Night We Live

Far: At Night We Live

Finally. FINALLY. It’s written and recorded, mixed and edited. The new album from Far will be in our stores on May 25 (coincidentally, that’s my birthday. Now you know what to get me!).

Far seem to have been largely ignored and somewhat overshadowed by other bands from the same era: notably long-time friends, Deftones. But, after being on hiatus since 1999, absence has only served to make the heart grow fonder.

Vocalist and guitarist Jonah Matranga has been consistently releasing music in his own name and under the guises of onelinedrawing, Gratitude and New End Original. The delicate and beautiful songs of his solo career seem a far cry from the heavy music of Far, but one thing that has been preserved is his immaculate voice. And now, on May 25, fans of Far can look forward to hearing him among friends: Shaun Lopez (guitar), John Gutenberger (bass) and Chris Robyn (drums, percussion).

The album is entitled At Night We Live. Listen to the eponymous track recorded at the November benefit for Deftones bassist Chi Cheng.
