This latest collection of songs reflects Goldfarb’s continued exploration of traditional song forms fusing world rhythms with folk-inspired grooves, lush harmonies, and meditative lyrics. Part personal reflection, part social commentary, Keys for Locks finds Goldfarb singing of the quest for joy (“Be Water”), the inevitability of death (“Grab a Mask”), averting eco-disaster (“This Train”), and the experience of inspiration (“Angel’s Jukebox”).
Goldfarb’s debut album, Magnifying Glass, was released on Painted Sun Records in 2000. The album was featured in the cult surfing documentary, Land of Saints (Lee Evans/Lorien Film Productions 2002) and he toured the Midwest in support of the album.
