"Huxley, Party of One" ranks as one of Farewell Teddy's darkest songs to date. You can practically feel the thunder in your bones, smell the sour tobacco smoke in your nostrils, and see the dancing shadows cast by candlelight in your mind's eye when you hear this underworldly ballad.
But there's something even deeper beneath this subterranean den of iniquity where Lady Folly beckons — namely the desire to indulge in things we know will destroy us. But perhaps even deeper still, this song calls out with a wail and a whimper for a chance at redemption.
So turn the lights down, the volume up, and listen along as the guys in Farewell Teddy discuss "Huxley, Party of One."

Full Farewell Teddy Bio:
There's no way anyone is actually reading this. So, really we can say whatever we want—anything at all... Llama! Bakersfield! Carbonated Soda Water! Llama again! If you're still reading — congratulations, you passed the test.
Farewell Teddy is an indie rock duo that no one's ever heard of from Atlanta, GA, USA. James and Nathan (founding members/only members) both love making as much original music as they possibly can in their spare time. They write, record, and produce all their own stuff ... and that should impress you. Their style has been called "Eclectic" and "Amazing" by the band themselves. They've also been described as, "Like the Beatles, but more country," by some person. Farewell Teddy draws from their deep and vast pool of artistic influences — citing everyone from the Beatles, the Kinks, Wilco, and Hank Williams to Oasis, Jack Johnson (the musician), Jack Johnson (the boxer), and God (the deity) as inspiration.
If you want to get in touch, send them an email at farewellteddymusic@gmail.com. And if you like their music ... they want to say: THANK YOU! If you don't like their music, then they'd like to say: IT'S PROBABLY BEST IF WE SEE OTHER PEOPLE.*** For anyone taking umbrage (yea UMBRAGE) with the fact that Farewell Teddy records the occasional cover song, despite having said that they write all their own stuff ... of course that is an exception. We ... er ... THEY are not liars — promise!
