NEWS: The Farm Share 'That Feeling' Ahead Of Let The Music (Take Control) Album

Resurgent indie-dance crossover pioneers, The Farm have shared, ‘That Feeling’ another infectious track from their first album in over 30 years Let The Music (Take Control) set for release on 20th June. Players in pop culture history since the 1980s, the band behind ‘All Together Now‘ and ‘Groovy Train‘ feel the funk in their second single of 2025. Bursting with fresh, propulsive kinetic energy, this anthemic track is a 21st Century indie banger.

Inspired in parts by Chic, following guitarist, Keith Mullin’s illuminating encounter with the funk magician, Nile Rodgers at Liverpool Institute For Performing Arts, as well as singer and lyricist, Peter Hooton, wearily watching as the world kindles into flame, That Feeling’s’ beat-driven, chorus-orientated journey arrives at a place of hope in spite of disillusion.

“The idea behind this song is trying to get into the heart and mind of someone who thinks they are the future of the world,” says Hooton. “People are more easily duped by false narratives in this day and age, falling into the obvious traps. We need to better understand each other to work out why.”

Music, film, fashion and community have always been at the heart and soul of Liverpool’s endlessly inquisitive dance/indie crossover pioneers, The Farm, and the re-energised five-piece strike a fresh beat based on familiar themes on That Feeling – OUT NOW. Only the third hint of what lies in store on their upcoming album, Let The Music (Take Control), their first in over three decades, the band that helped define the 90’s British indie/dance boom use the track to dig into delusion and disinformation.

Truly stationed at the centre of cultural history, as evidenced in a recent interview by Hooton, in which he casually revealed he was in the room when The Clash decided to reform (yet, subsequently failed to do so), the band’s five-decade history weaves through No.1 albums, high-profile justice campaigns, defining the ‘terrace look’ adopted by an entire generation and influential inroads into film and TV. Bassist, Carl Hunter, has enjoyed a life in moving pictures, including directing Bill Nighy on 2018’s Sometimes Always Never and drummer, Roy Boulter is a BAFTA-nominated screenwriter.

Released on multiple formats including limited and standard edition vinyl, CD and digital formats, Let The Music (Take Control) is released via Modern Sky on Fri 20th June 2025.

The Farm’s return to the studio was inspired by renewed creativity, a sense of lost time and the rapturous response to live versions of new material. Being added to BBC Radio 2’s playlist on the release of 2024’s self-released single, Feel The Love, the original ‘heyday’ line-up decided to attend to unfinished business.

Produced in the company of Mike Cave (The Charlatans, Bloc Party) in Liverpool, the future-facing album has been preceded by another, two previous singles, Forever And Ever and Moment In Time.

The Farm’s last album was 1994’s US-only release of Hullabaloo, following up their career-to-date defining breakthrough and UK No.1 album, Spartacus, which wrote the enduring tracks, ‘All Together Now‘ and ‘Groovy Train; onto the list of unforgettable all-time classic singles.

‘Let The Music (Take Control)‘ is released Fri 20 June 2025 via Modern Sky.
