Their new album, "California Centuries," finds the band delving deep into themes of collective denial ("Bad Things"), gaslighting ("Invisible" and "Gaslight") and romantic lessons learned ("I'm the One" and "Are You Using Your Heart"). Their twangy honesty shines through in straightforward arrangements, crystalline harmonies, and spare instrumentation. Beware their catchy hooks and sweet melodies - these stray puppy tunes will follow you home and become your most steadfast companions.</p><h2><br></h2><h2><strong>NEW EARTH FARMERS</strong></h2><p><a href="https://newearthfarmers.net/" target="_blank">Website</a> / <a href="https://newearthfarmers.bandcamp.com/" target="_blank">Bandcamp</a> / <a href="https://www.facebook.com/NewEarthFarmers/" target="_blank">Facebook</a></p><p>----</p><p>The New Earth Farmers duo Nicole Storto and Paul Knowles offered up some pensive narratives of the 2020s dreamscape on the 2021 EP "Into The Great Unknown".&nbsp;They got help from James Deprato, Kevin T White (Chuck Prophet Mission Express), and Nigel Twist (The Alarm) to round out the sound. The band recorded a new extended&nbsp;record during the Spring of 2022 in Napa, CA (Boxer Lodge) and Berkeley, CA. They will be releasing "The Good Ones Got Away" in March of 2023.
