Closing a long chapter of artistic creation, personnel changes and compositional inspiration, ‘Dial Everything’ can be seen as the point of arrival of a long process, one that saw The Farewell State morph and adapt to tough times and the often disastrous circumstances around them. Hailing from Sheffield, UK, the talented outfit champions a rather eclectic view of their artistry.
Navigating the alternative and classic rock landscape, they weave in and out from grunge, 90s-flavoured anthems and mellower, pop-inspired gems, making for a listening experience that’s varied and electrifying, truly showcasing The Farewell State musical gusto, if you will. ‘Year Zero’ was the band’s debut single, anticipating the full album. ‘Dial Everything’ brings us a wider selection of tunes, from the fuzzy and fierce ‘Fragments of Films’ to the ballad-like ‘Faces Made For Radio’, passing through groovy and modern gems, such as ‘Ready Yourself.
Overall, there’s a lot to discover in ‘Dial Everything’, and we urge you to do so. Speaking about the album, the group explains: “These particular tunes have grabbed us for 14 years so far and we hope they will do the same for you. From electric protest songs via epic ballads to guitar riff meltdowns. These songs have seen it all and have it all.”
