Taking soft pop into a folky space rock situation, the new album's emphasis on the space rock situation happened organically in the studio. With neither a specific intention or a clear definition of what we mean by space rock, the music simply was.
Infused with a hint of an autobiographical thread, UNGLUED is like a musical collection of short stories with a shared concept. The opening track "Days of My Youth" is a prologue which invites the listener to enter what "feels like another world, in another time." This dreamy—and at times haunting, dark, hopeful—journey is as expansive as the mysteries of the universe and as intimate as everyone's search for self.
The sound of The Electric Farm has a moody atmosphere that is often compared to Nick Drake and Neil Young. The band blends folk rock americana, pop sensibilities, a little Brazilian, jazz colors, psychedelic freakout jams with a lyrical influence of Ray Davies. Several of the Farm's songs have been featured in TV and film including DRIVE, NUMB3RS, ONE TREE HILL, CRIMINAL MINDS, HAPPY ENDINGS & DRIVE ME CRAZY. Their albums have ranked #1 on the CMJ charts (WNTI in Hackettstown, NJ) and among "Top Philly Band Picks" by WXPN. The Electric Farm has performed at venues including Godfrey Daniels, Sellersville Theatre, Mayo Performing Arts Center, Historic Blairstown Theatre, World Cafe Live, Landhaven B&B, Kenny's Castaways and CBGB's.
