Introducing FAREWELL TOUR, an ambient psych-rock band by Joe Wilson and Chanelle Collier, emerging from a cathartic response to grief arising from Chanelle’s Stage 4 Cancer diagnosis’. The music incorporates field recordings, guitars and vocals; drawing on themes of love, death, and loss, and operates under the concept of “…an epic love story of a band where every song is their last. A never ending farewell tour.” This central concept posits the band's entire existence as a continuous, drawn-out goodbye, lending a unique sense of urgency and finality to each performance and recording.

Every song is a farewell and every concert a culminating event; yet the tour seeks to go on as long as it can, in a perpetual state of epilogue and reinvention. This meta-narrative invites audiences into the transient present of life, into the soft lines between the band's reality and its fateful mythology.

“This sound practice is a refuge. From grief, death, loss, imminent doom etc. It brings us into intimate contact with time because it's a space where each second is noticed, felt and responded to with care, through deep listening, not letting any one of them pass without being valued. This slows time and offers the desired respite by elongating the temporal distance between ourselves here now on the studio floor with our guitars and love and voices; and our eventual heartbreaking demise. A slowing down to go between us and death.”
