Far Away Stables – Between Rage and Serenity

I hadn’t heard of Sydney’s Far Away Stables until I listened to their debut record Between Rage and Serenity, so as a Sydney music writer that fills me with a great shame to say because they are phenomenal.
Their sound conjured memories of Coheed and Cambria from my angsty teen days but with a refreshed, modern slant to the lyricism.
The band have managed to find that sweet spot between, as the title suggests, rage and serenity. Throughout the roughly 45 minute journey there are moments of aggression which are then tempered with a sweetness.
Far Away Stables have landed a killer blow with their debut record and certainly cemented a place in my regular record rotation.
