Farewell Unveils Their Fourth Album, Banjo Rainbow – Out Now!

Release Date: November 28, 2024
Location: Bordeaux, France
Genre: Indie Rock

After three critically acclaimed albums, Bordeaux-based indie rock act Farewell, led by Jean-Baptiste Calluaud, has released their fourth opus, Banjo Rainbow. The album, which dropped on November 28, 2024, marks another ambitious step in the band’s evolution, offering ten brand-new tracks that blur the lines between love, madness, and the raw violence of emotion.

For fans of System of a Down, Norma Jean, and Placebo, Banjo Rainbow presents a visceral and thought-provoking listening experience. The album was recorded at Hesat Recordings studio, where Jean-Baptiste, a former member of the April duo and director of Hesat Recordings and Hesat Campus studio, meticulously crafted this work over three years.

Joining the project are long-time collaborator and drummer Xavier Richard, cellist Quentin Gendrot (aka Qlay), and vocalist Diane Respinger (from Bordeaux groups Minnesota and Molly and Co). Diane lends her talents to a duet on “Wallets” and contributes vocals on “The Houselight Maker.”

The album’s lead single, “Tantrum,” explores the violent intensity of feelings and has already made waves with its music video, available now on YouTube. Banjo Rainbow also features tracks like “Blitzkrieg,” delving into themes of commitment and death, and the titular “Banjo Rainbow,” which reflects on the thin line between madness and love.

Jean-Baptiste Calluaud shared his thoughts on the album, stating, “To truly love another person is to accept that the work of loving them is worth the pain of losing them.” This ethos is woven into the heart of Banjo Rainbow, a reaction to modern society that balances raw emotion with poignant reflection.

Banjo Rainbow is available on all major streaming platforms. Dive into Farewell’s most powerful and heartfelt album to date.
