Peter Farrar - Avocado
Review by Hector Santiago Cazaut
Avocado, the latest album by Peter Farrar, is a delightful fusion of indie and folk music. The album features ten tracks, each with a unique sound and story to tell. Farrar’s soulful voice and poetic lyrics are the driving force behind this album, and he delivers them with a raw and emotive energy.
The opening track, “Honeycomb,” sets the tone for the album with its upbeat tempo and catchy melody. Farrar’s vocals are layered over a simple yet effective guitar riff, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. The album continues with tracks like “Wildfire,” which features a haunting violin solo that perfectly complements Farrar’s introspective lyrics.
“Avocado” is a standout track on the album, with its stripped-down instrumentation and intimate vocals. The song tells the story of a relationship on the verge of collapse, and Farrar’s emotive delivery captures the pain and uncertainty of the situation.
The album’s production is minimalistic, allowing Farrar’s vocals and lyrics to take center stage. The instrumentation is sparse but effective, with acoustic guitars, violins, and percussion providing a subtle backdrop to Farrar’s storytelling.

Notes
- Four tracks of solo playing, three of which, 'light green', 'avocado' and 'white' use alto sax with preparations. The third track 'green stripes' uses the sax again but with electronic feedback. All tracks are also to some extent field recordings involving the environment of the recording space of Tempe Jets, with rain clearly evident and the sound of Sydney Airport not far away.
- There is a sense of the pioneering virtuosic, and a sense of naïve and random speculation. There is a casual approach to performance and also at times long sections of circular breath intensity. You think you are listening to a classic solo instrumental album and then track 3 (green stripes) becomes a field recording with rain and distant jets. Always there is a rigorous focus on the materiality of the sonic phenomena he is releasing.
- Hand numbered edition of 300.
