‘Leaves an instant mark on the listener’ – Hotpress
Faraway Martin’s sound is heavily influenced by his Irish roots, with evidence of Damien Rice and Glen Hansard, yet his latest release, ‘I Wanna Go’ is a more upbeat song with an in your face guitars and an anthem like chorus. The track, recorded at Dogfox Studios, Nashville inspires feelings of wanderlust as Faraway Martin lilts about leaving the 9-5 life in search of adventure, something every listener can relate to. The track produced by Dave Skelton, is reminiscent of offerings from The Kings of Leon and Gavin James. With honest lyrics and catchy hooks, Faraway Martin makes an immediate impression on listeners.
