He likes drum machines and The Magnetic Fields. You can find him on tour with his crazy live show which includes wild projected visuals and the guarantee of a perfect set. He is also in a band with his best friend Jeff Rosenstock called Antarctigo Vespucci. On debut \u003ci\u003eBorn Hot\u003c\/i\u003e, Chris Farren (of Fake Problems \/ Antarctigo Vespucci ) opens with a question he’ll spend much of the album trying to answer: Why do I feel out of place in my own outer space? Telegraphing his inner narrative with a childlike candor, the Florida-born artist lays bare his most intense anxieties and - in the very same breath- documents the mildly soul-crushing minutiae of everyday life: the strange indecency of blasting AC\/DC bangers through an iPhone speaker, the inexplicable bleakness of a Starbucks franchise tucked inside a Target. But with his irrepressible sense of humour and utter lack of self-seriousness, Farren defuses the pain of even the deepest insecurity, gracefully paving the way for pure pop catharsis. On \u003ci\u003eBorn Hot\u003c\/i\u003e Farren fully embodies the sensitive-goofball dichotomy found in all his work, especially his exuberant live show: a solo performance in which he plays to live-recorded backing tracks while projecting purposely wacky visuals (his own face duplicated thousands of times, text that reads \u003ci\u003eAnother Perfect Set\u003c\/i\u003e at the end of each closing song). By the same token, Farren went full-on tongue-in-cheek in choosing Born Hot’s title and cover art—a crudely drawn self-portrait that captures him lounging shirtless, looking every bit the ’70s-pop Lothario. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Big Scary Monsters","offers":[{"title":"Black | 12\"","offer_id":50478653309259,"sku":"1076159","price":22.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/3de39ad1-f2d2-4902-bd21-979a1e514908_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727487680"},{"product_id":"doom-singer","title":"Doom Singer","description":"\u003cp\u003eWith his sophomore full-length album, \u003ci\u003eBorn Hot\u003c\/i\u003e, Chris Farren paired polished, up-beat pop songs with lyrics full of self-examination and insecurity, all while developing a newfound sense of humor when it came to promoting himself. Stereogum called it “a tongue-in-cheek exploration of ideas of confidence and self-loathing,\" while The Atlantic featured it on their “Best Albums of 2019” list.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOn his third full-length album, \u003ci\u003eDoom Singer\u003c\/i\u003e, Farren injects his latest work with a newfound sense of power and cohesion. Collaborating for the first time with outside drummer Frankie Impastato (Macseal), Farren's songs take on a whole new dimensionality, with Impastato's live drums bringing a fresh spontaneity to the tracks. Doom Singer marks another significant milestone in Farren's career as it is the first time he collaborated with a producer, multi-instrumentalist Melina Duterte (Jay Som, Bachelor, Routine). Her masterful production experience adds a layer of sophistication to Farren's sound, creating a rich and multi- dimensional sonic landscape that takes his music to new heights.
