Geoff Farina has been making records and touringconsistently since the early 90s, and he has carved outsmall enclaves of dedicated fans across the US, Europe, and Japan. His band Karate made nine genre-bendingrecords and toured extensively for twelve years, and thesongs he penned with The Secret Stars have reached cultstatus, covered by the likes of Death Cab for Cutie and Ida. Since 2006, Farina's Glorytellers have combined Karate'sindie-rock urgency with the Secret Stars' soft-spokenintimacy to evoke the best qualities of both bands. Atone, Glorytellers' second release, is a collection of nineunclassifiable gems that gently unfold with ease and dignity. Atone reaches into all corners of Americana; Echoes ofHarry Nilsson's Everybody's Talkin reverberate through"The Keystone," as Farina narrates a train ride through thedecaying mining towns of Pennsylvania. The acoustic andelectric guitars on "Concaves'" are woven together like twinfiddles. Matt Pond recently described the deftly fingerpicked"Just What I Was Thinking" as 'bluegrass Morrissey'.There is even a bawling Walter Horton-style Marine Bandthat punctuates the bluesy "Softly as She Sings." But for allits pre-punk influences, Glorytellers have their feet firmlyplanted in 80s and 90s guitar music: Had they beenplugged into 100-watt Marshall amps, the guitars on "Fours"and "Omni Stars" would be at home on a Pitchfork or NewRadiant Storm King record, and the six-plus minutes of "TheColdest War" seethe and simmer like Karate's best albumendingepics. Despite its junkyard harmonica and finger-picked steelstrings, Atone is what might have been called "a catchyindie record" a decade ago. Farina's colourful lyrics anddelicate vocal melodies permeate its charming, buoyantsongs. Atone is at once soft-spoken and proud, urgent andat ease, and its vivid narratives resonate more with eachlisten.
