Today, Farewell Republic released their debut LP, ‘Burn the Boats’.\u00a0After a year-long writing\/pre-production process, ‘Burn the Boats’ was recorded during July 2010 at the Chrome Attic in Crystal Lake, IL and the Thunderdome in Ann Arbor, MI. The band holed up in their home studio and spent more than 9 months mixing the record after relocating to Brooklyn. The resulting LP captures a sound that is best described as atmospheric post-punk with a nice bite of shoegaze thrown in. ‘Burn the Boats’\u00a0was\u00a0recorded by Michael Coffman, produced by Farewell Republic members Sivan Jacobovitz and Brian Trahan and mastered by Fred Kevorkian (White Stripes, The National) at Avatar Studios in NYC.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The band drew on a wide range of influences ranging from art rock and ambient electronic music to 20th century classical and traditional middle eastern folk music while recording ‘Burn The Boats,’which is quite evident. The album swings between energetic hopefulness and dispirited detachment, reflecting the era in which we live.<\/p>\n
