GLORYTELLERS DEBUT ALBUM RELEASE!

The creative force behind Glorytellers is guitarist/singer/songwriter Geoff Farina, who spent the better part of 14 years fronting Boston's genre-bending Karate, and as one-half of the formative lo-fi duo Secret Stars. Farina's latest effort reveals a set of delicate ballads that draw from the quirky psych of the Raincoats and Spacemen 3, the rustic narratives of The Band and Mose Allison, and even the dense harmonies of pianists like Jelly Roll Morton, Herbie Nichols and Andrew Hill.

The album is released in Europe late January 2008 and will be available in the USA early February 2008.

RIP, Bo Diddley.

from southern.com:

On May 5th 2003 Geoff Farina, Jeff Goddard and Gavin McCarthy found themselves in Leuven, Belgium, sweating out what felt like just another tight set at the end of a long tour. A recording of this show eventually found its way back to the band, who were surprised to hear the clarity and balance that they strive for in the studio. It became the band's favorite live document, and they considered these performances on par with their best studio records. Here is a snapshot of a great band at their peak - not just "great" in measure of appeal and taste, but as players and performers.

Though Karate sadly ended their 12-year run in the summer of 2005, this brief set-list takes the band's strongest material into new realms, and is evidence of what they sounded like at their best, with their tour legs on.

U.S. Release: 23 October 2007

Euro Release: 08 October 2007
