Le Voyage Initiatique album. With Safely Out of Reach, their sophomore effort, Farewood courageously take you on a journey accross surreal soundscapes and lush vocal seas. This 14 song masterpiece of folk-pop and rock song skeletons is filled in with obscurely beautiful tones, odd instrumentation, a book of indie-noise-rock knowledge and a warm, sun-in-your-stomach, type of comforting lyrical sense.

Farewood will show you how to effortlessly master both worlds simultaneously. So sit back, turn it up, and discover what you hold Safely Out of Reach.
