Glorytellers Atone

Geoff Farina has been making records and touring consistently since the early 90s, and he has carved out small enclaves of dedicated fans across the US, Europe, and Japan. His band Karate made 9 genre-bending records and toured extensively for 12 years, and the songs he penned with The Secret Stars have reached cult status, covered by the likes of Death Cab for Cutie and Ida. Since 2006, Farina’s Glorytellers have combined Karate’s indie-rock urgency with the Secret Stars’ soft-spoken intimacy to evoke the best qualities of both bands.
Atone, Glorytellers’ second release, is a collection of 9 unclassifiable gems that gently unfold with ease and dignity. Atone reaches into all corners of Americana, as bawling Walter Horton-style harp punctuates the bluesy “Softly as She Sings,” and acoustic and electric guitars on “Concaves’” are woven together like twin fiddles. But Glorytellers have their feet firmly planted in 80s & 90s indie music: The guitars on “Fours” and “Omni Stars” would be at home on a Pitchfork or New Radiant Storm King record, had they been plugged into 100-watt Marshalls, and the 6+ minutes of “The Coldest War” seethe and simmer like Karate’s best album-ending epics.
Farina’s vivid lyrics and delicate vocal melodies ring through these charming, buoyant songs. Atone is at once soft-spoken and proud, urgent and at ease, and its vivid narratives resonate more with each listen.

Farina has toiled for 15 years as one of the hardest-working indie rockers in the business, creating songs that unfold like time-lapse nature photography, slowly building to a rugged beauty…

Wonderfully crafted and artistic without the self-consciousness that style often implies, Glorytellers is Farina’s most broadly appealing release.
