Paraclete

Sea Holly 

Waiting upon the Lord
Opening up ancient doors
Sailing through the sea holly
Rambling through the rosemary 

As the light fall on your face so effortlessly 
And the winds birl in these fields so profusely 
And all I can hear are larch barking at me
And the applecore does nothing but scowl at me

Wading through the hollyhocks 
Muting the din of the tinderbox
Breathing we become the sound
Reclining my spine upon emerald ground

Making The Record

Farmer is a songwriter, poet, and verser from Desertmartin, Northern Ireland. 

Formerly Sons Of Caliber, he has supported artists such as Nathaniel Rateliff, The Staves, and Gemma Hayes, and has played many of NI's most prominent local venues and beloved festivals including Glasgowbury, Open House, and Stendhal.

His new record Amelanchier, due for release this summer, is a post-folk murmuration idling along electronic borders and exploring the aquiferous terrain of paraphonic tone. 

For it seems that this recently absent and weathered artist has fully emerged again, from the deep forests of his own inner auguries, having spent the last few years burnishing the rugged, idiomatic landscapes of his hermetic sound.

His recent work is an ode to residency, a soundtrack to intention resonating throughout…to simpler, and perhaps blither, times on this island.

He readily flits across bloodlines, townlands, and districts in a bid to furnish listeners with his take on what it truly means to dwell on this island. 

There is a percussive defiance carved into the bark of this offering, a non-dual isotope that bleeds into the eternal memory. 

Accompanying the music is a collection of lyrics and poetry titled Motalee; a body of work with an unwavering allegiance to the soil and a deep longing for the quiet. Together they assemble an arboricultural amplifier designed to allure patrons ever closer to an analogical earth. 

This melodic hybrid welds song and spoken word into a systemically subsumed score.
