Figureheads of the original indie/dance crossover scene, DIY-driven eighties post-punks and justice-seeking campaigners, The Farm have announced the release of their first album since 1994 with beatsy, feelgood lead single, Forever & Ever listen here. Written and performed by all five original ‘heyday’ members, the Liverpool band’s fifth album and first in over three decades, Let The Music (Take Control), will be released on Fri 2 May 2025.
Catapulted at speed into overdue fame by the runaway success of their No.1 album, Spartacus, in 1991, featuring all-time classic, indie dancefloor singles, Groovy Train and All Together Now, The Farm was originally formed in 1984.
Returning to the independent spirit that saw them release their own singles and albums up until household recognition found them at start of the nineties, the band’s comeback began earlier this year with the self-release of BBC Radio 2 playlisted album title track, Feel The Love. Their return to the forefront of music in the UK was further concreted by a return to play this year’s Glastonbury Festival, performing hits and new songs to a packed Leftfield Stage crowd.
While The Farm have rarely returned to the studio since the recording of their fourth album, Hullabaloo, released in the US only with Sire Records in March 1994, save for special commemorative and charity projects, they have toured frequently since 2004. Taking new ideas from their rehearsals for major outdoor shows as the blueprint for a potential new album, a refreshed sense of creativity, ambition and possibility emerged.
With festival dates already appearing in The Farm’s schedule for 2025, fans keen to be the first to know about live dates as well as upcoming release news are reminded to connect with the band online.
