International Farmers return with their long awaited sophomore album, "Stories You Rewind". A collective appreciation for life, love, and all the people who have helped shape the International Farmers, both personally and musically, is strongly apparent in their songwriting - as represented on their 2008 debut LP, "Closer Than Close". Musically, while they draw influence from artists like Steel Pulse, Peter Tosh, Bunny Wailer, Bob Marley, Fat Freddy's Drop, Operation Ivy, Minor Threat (and so many others), their sound is their own. It's not just Reggae. Nor is it even in the vein of Reggae meets Punk. It's like a well-done, crisp and clean Progressive Rock Reggae. Meaning there's an identifiable element of fusion and jamming that's full of transitions, segues, and trip outs. "Stories You Rewind" is meant to take the listener back through some memorable experiences, while creating some new stories to rewind in the future. - Easy Reader Dirty Hippie Radio Jeff Vincent
