FAREWELL POETRY is more like a Think Tank than a band. Born of an encounter between a group of eclectic Parisian musicians and the Franco-Australian poet and filmmaker Jayne Amara Ross, FareWell Poetry paints a crepuscular landscape, rising in curls of smoke that seem to implode on high like a cloud bursting into scintillating shards of black. Impossible to catagorise, FareWell Poetry reminds one of the dark psychedelia of the Velvet Underground's White Light / White Heat but firmly seated on an incredible musical sophistication.
