New Jersey’s East Of The Wall took a step off the beaten path with its album “Farmer’s Almanac.”
Recorded in New York, “Farmer’s Almanac” is East Of The Wall’s first release, attempting to defy boundaries that have been set by rock bands long before it with its instrumental and experimental rock.
“Winter Breath” is a seven-minute story, with an embracive beginning and core beats that capture listeners early on. A mixture of unusual bass rhythms, provided by Brett Bamberger, and inventive guitar styles from Matt Lupo and Kevin Conway, combine with Mike Somers’ drum beats to tell a musical story of life’s ups and downs.
“Farmer’s Almanac” is 40-plus minutes of experimental rock melodies and can give listeners their own personal soundtrack. “Farmer’s Almanac” allows listeners to put their story to the musical rhythmic genies East Of The Wall has created.
Whether listeners are looking for ambient sound to add to their day, or new rock legends to follow, East Of The Wall’s sound is capable of embracing all. Even for the “non-rock types,” Farmer’s Almanac has a little bit of something for everyone.
