Glorytellers - Glorytellers

The creative force behind Glorytellers is guitarist/singer/songwriter Geoff Farina, who spent the better part of 14 years fronting Boston’s genre-bending Karate, and as one-half of the formative lo-fi duo Secret Stars.
Farina’s latest effort reveals a set of delicate ballads that draw from the quirky psych of the Raincoats and
Spacemen 3, the rustic narratives of The Band and Mose Allison, and even the dense harmonies of pianists like Jelly Roll Morton, Herbie Nichols and Andrew Hill.
In Glorytellers, Farina is more storyteller than proselytizer. He delivers lyrics with the same staccato, stream-of-
consciousness style that helped define Karate’s sound, but these image-laden lyrics are decidedly more narrative.
Farina wrote the bulk of these Glorytellers  songs on a "Flamenca Blanca" (a cheap, cyprus-backed flamenco guitar) in a small cabin in Chievolis, a secluded Friulian village in the Dolomites of northeastern Italy.
