Farm (The) - Let The Music (Take Control)

Original DIY success story, indie/dance crossover icons and enduring figures across multiple realms of British popular culture, The Farm return with their first new music of 2025, Moment In Time.
Instantly recognisable by sound for their aspirational, observational and near-spiritual upbeat and aspirational electro-inspired indie, and by sight for their mod-ish terrace gang wardrobe, the formerly riotous, now reformed 80s/90s Liverpool five-piece return as wised-up statesmen of pop and look ahead to the release of their long-awaited, fifth album, “Let The Music (Take Control)”, on Fri 20 June 2025.

Despite appearing to be forever present as a force in music thanks to repeated cover versions and timely re-issues of their greatest hit singles, plus decades of well-publicised activism, The Farm’s last album was 1994's US-only release of Hullabaloo. A band whipped up into a frenzy of deserved hype following the release of their 1991, No.1 debut album, Spartacus, which brought era-defining singles, All Together Now and Groovy Train into the world, they quickly followed up in 1992 with their second album, Love See No Colour.

Constructed by the band’s original ‘heyday’ line-up of Peter Hooton (vocals), Steve Grimes
(guitar/keys), Keith Mullin (guitar) Carl Hunter (bass) and Roy Boulter(drums), the fruits of The Farm’s new studio sessions were first tasted with BBC Radio 2-playlisted single, Feel The Love, released in summer 2023. Sensing new creative momentum within themselves and a hunger amongst fans for more of the same, The Farm connected with leading indie label, Modern Sky and completed a further, nine tracks to complete Let The Music (Take Control), their first album in over three decades.

Recorded in their home city and produced in the company of Mike Cave (The Charlatans, Bloc Party), the full track-listing for the album as follows:
