THE FAREWELL DRIFTERS - ECHO BOOM (LP)

The Farewell Drifters Echo Boom on LP

Echo Boom, is the third album from The Farewell Drifters, and it displays a growing maturity both musically and thematically, as the band considers the pressures and expectations placed on their generation by the previous one, and the ramifications of some of the vague self-actualization advice passed on by the boomers to their latchkey kids.

There is a certain rightness to the idea that The Farewell Drifters explore these themes through the framework of roots and folk music that is perhaps the most communal of musical genres, but being part of this Echo Boom generation, their influences are shaped, sometimes unconsciously, by music far from the roots music they're associated with. Echo Boom finds The Farewell Drifters crafting great songs, employing great musicianship and finding their considerable place in this world.
