Sewage Farm: Harmony Beach

Posted on the 05 September 2017 by Hctf @hctf

York rock trio Sewage Farm hit the ground running last year with their debut album Cloudy. They stuck to their formula for Harmony Beach, their new full-length. Once again they mix fuzz driven power pop, psychedelica and garage for a collection of upbeat tunes about bleak themes. Whether they sing about being lonely (Alien Alone) or try impress a girl (Underneath Your Window) the band always find a way to wrap the pain in a pleasing melody.

Harmony Beach is a study in contrasts, a cheerful collection of songs and it's this inner tension that makes it a remarkable record. Think Nirvana meets The Jam (note the nod to the guitar part of The Eton Rifles in My Last Hour), under the tutelage of Big Star and Bob Mould.
