Bio
-ITA- I Frozen Farmer sono un gruppo folk rock nato nel 2009. La band è composta da Francesco Scalise (voce, banjo) Luca Gambacorta (voce, chitarra, mandolino) Paolo Grassi (voce, percussioni, clarinetto) Carlo Rizzi (basso) e Giordano Rizzato (batteria). I Frozen Farmer hanno realizzato un EP omonimo, pubblicato da Ghost Records a Novembre 2011. Cinque brani che spaziano dal folk al bluegrass fino all'alternative country. Le canzoni dei Frozen Farmer raccontano storie di vita personale ed esperienze passate, gran parte delle quali vissute durante il periodo trascorso da Francesco negli States. La loro musica riesce ad esprimere le sonorità classiche della pura tradizione folk americana, e, allo stesso tempo, porta alla luce sfumature contemporanee che sfociano in un sound dall' impatto molto diretto. Francesco Scalise e Paolo Grassi sono ex componenti dei Midwest: una band con due LP all'attivo, pubblicati da Homesleep Records. I due dischi hanno ottenuto ottime recensioni sulla stampa specializzata nazionale ed estera (Rumore, Blow up, Il Mucchio Selvaggio, Rock Star, Rockerilla, Rockit, Musica/Supplemento di Repubblica, Mojo, Uncut, Sunday Times, Sunday Telegraph, Time out ed altri). -ENG- Frozen Farmer was formed in 2009. Their songs tell stories on personal life, on present and past experiences about Francesco's journeys in the United States of America, accompanied by an American Folk Music. In November 2011, Frozen Farmer have released their first EP on Ghost Records. Five songs ranging from folk rock to bluegrass and alternative country. Frozen Farmer "EP" got very good reviews on Italian Magazines (Blow Up Magazine: "..it's beatiful to see Midwest coming back..very good riffs.." --Rumore Magazine: "..tied to the roots of American tradition..country style together with Sixteen Horsepower sadness.." --Buscadero Magazine: "..a beautiful EP..lay in my grave sounds like Johnny Cash..highways is like Sixteen Horsepower..Snow is in a Byrds' style..a very good beginning..") and also on Webzines (Shiver: "..an indie folk sensitivity like Mumford and Sons..a great personality.." --Sound Magazine: "..sweet and warm atmosphere..wonderful melodies..a great beginning.." --Dance Like Shaquille O'neal: "..dense arrangements..a lovely work.." --Geeks: "..a folk rock sound..an ep to listen again and again..").
