“… you realise how graceful and special Farina are.” The Guardian
“…a considerable achievement.” AllMusic
“This is one of the finest debut album’s I’ve ever heard, and I suggest you avail yourself of a copy, post haste.” Dream Magazine

Praise for Allotments by Fariña

“Fariña excel at creating cinematic, baroque, psychedelic chamber pop on a tiny budget.” The Sunday Times
“Catch this album now – it could well be one the year’s finest classic pop sounds and one you’ll get more from each time you play it.” John Cavanagh, BBC Radio Scotland
