“The sounds on ‘Beauty and Undertow’ are in their own world;
one full of passion…” – My Old Kentucky Blog

“Simple Selfish Plan” featuring the reunited members of
Rainer Maria is the latest single from Chris McFarland.
Austin by way of Brooklyn-based songwriter and life-long
road warrior, Chris McFarland, is continuing his latest round of
touring in support of his new release, the “Beauty and Undertow” EP.
The recording is McFarland’s sixth collection of “angry folk”
songs, and is out now via theEnd Up label.
Popular music discovery website My Old Kentucky Blog recently
posted glowing review of the album here:http://www.myoldkentuckyblog.com/?p=33950.
The EP’s latest single, “Simple Selfish Plan” is available for
streaming and download now.
“Beauty and Undertow” is the realization of a
long-held dream of McFarland’s to reunite the members of
groundbreaking emo group Rainer Maria for the first time since
that band’s break up in late 2006.
“Kyle (Fischer, Rainer Maria guitarist)
and I have been best friends for the last 23 years,” says McFarland of
his paring with the members ofRainer Maria. Bill (Kuehn, Rainer
Maria drummer) has been one of my favorite drummers for many years and Caithlin (De
Marrais, Rainer Maria vocalist) was on my last EP.” When
it came time to plan this new record, McFarland says he “just
had to approach them all about being on it with me.”
A true road warrior, McFarland can be found
crisscrossing the United States several months of the year, wearing down his
late-model Martin acoustic with his ceremonial self-eviscerations. McFarland recently
embarked on a month-long tour of the US next week to promote “Beauty
and Undertow” and has now added additional dates. See below for
details.
