Geoff Farina - Usonian Dream Sequence (1998)

BAND/ARTIST: Geoff Farina

Geoff Farina is a songwriter whose creativity isn’t satisfied by one musical project. This was definitely the case during his intrepid rise through the U.S. punk scene in the 1990s as part of Karate, whose strangely intoxicating brew of emo, jazz, and slowcore satisfied just about any subvert who packed DIY venues to catch the Boston band. But Karate and The Secret Stars, Farina’s charming, lo-fi recording project he helmed with artist Jodi Buonanno, could not contain all of his work. Beginning in 1994, Farina stowed away material that fit neither of his ongoing endeavors, and gathered up enough songs to issue a solo album—the Southern Records-issued Usonian Dream Sequence in 1998. The title shares its name with a comforting, dazed song Farina wrote after a tour nap informed by Frank Lloyd Wright’s The Natural House, and the album’s energy evokes an intimate, dreamlike whimsy. Farina’s sparse solo songs contain all the power and dynamism of Karate’s more overtly aggressive material, all while played at a volume that brings the weight of all the music subtitles to bear. All these years later, the disarming acoustic number “The Same Way” and the dusky retro-balladeering of “Dries” have kept Usonian Dream Sequence a vision.
