Chris Brokaw & Geoff Farina - The Boarder's Door

Chris Brokaw was a founding member of Codeine (Sub Pop), the band that kicked off the Slowcore scene in the late 80s. He left Codeine to form Come(Matador/Sub Pop) with Thalia Zedek. He now drums in The New Year, and plays guitar for Thurston Moore, Evan Dando and a wealth of other high achieving acts, most recently in 'Martha's Vineyard Ferries' with Bob Weston (Shellac). Geoff Farina is best known for his 12 years with Karate (Southern). Farina's charismatic voice, and versatile guitar playing are also heard on a number of excellent solo albums, and as one-half of Secret Stars, the seminal early-90s duo. He now fronts Glorytellers and is a favourite of Swedish folk-Athiest Jose Gonzalez.

'The Boarder's Door' is eleven new songs and recordings from the peripatetic ramblers Chris Brokaw and Geoff Farina. Last year,'The Angel's Message to Me' saw the two teaming up to cover pre-WWII blues, ragtime, and folk standards, and attracting glowing reviews (including The Sunday Times' Stewart Lee) and radio play from Gideon Coe, Steve Lamacq and Tom Ravenscroft.
BBC 6Music (Tom Ravenscroft): "wonderful, wonderful, wonderful record... it's pretty enough to drive you mad"

Sunday Times (Stewart Lee): "admirable levels of consummate artistry, good taste and obvious musical chemistry... feels like the duo just struck up in the corner at the tail end of the perfect party
