Farah + Italians Do It Better


Styling for *Italians Do It Better* recording artist, Farah:

"Texas-based Farah keep up the metronomic beats and analog cascades, but "Dancing Girls (Suite 304 Demo)" adds a section sung in Persian, while the spoken-word monologue of "Law of Life" sounds like a scripture reading from a church of the damned. It's one of the few moments on After Dark that seems stilted as much as reverent." - Pitchfork

"Coincidentally, while perusing Glass Candy's myspace page, they linked to their "new favorite singer," a girl named Farah. Farah claims to be from Plano TX, which is pretty amazing for a couple reasons. It's about the last place you'd expect a girl like Farah to call home. I went to high school there, and trust me, there were no girls like her around when I lived there. But the more I listen to her detached and unaffected (bored, even?) vocals, the more it kinda makes sense.

This song will be a vinyl-only release, taken from Farah's debut 12" on Italians Do It Better. Listen to/download 3 more songs at Farah's myspace." - Gorilla vs. Bear
