Plum music said...
'Farena is the acoustic project of Chris (vocals, guitar) and Mel (lead vocals, percussion). Beautiful melodies weave with interesting rhythms and the vocal harmonies of the duo. Think Bjork mixed with Missy Higgins with the bite of Martha Wainwright and PJ Harvey for the female aspect of things. See them in this intimate venue before they move on to bigger things..'
