A dark, deep, beautiful song cycle touching on themes of loss, madness, mystery and exquisite longing. A record that lives somewhere in the netherworld between the Velvets and Samuel Barber. Privately produced and released in very limited quantities.

"There is an emotional danger to this record that is truly thrilling. Unsafe Songs is, quite safely, one of the finest rock records of the year."
-Harry Sumrall, rock critic, author
of Pioneers of Rock and Roll

"The production is incredible. Wow! The music... intimate and beautiful."
-Jane Siberry

"A magnificent, beautiful album."
-Jane Friedman, legendary rock manager (ex-Patti Smith, John Cale)

Marc Farre is an independent recording artist, songwriter and composer based in New York. Heâs known for his captivating style -- intense and intimate songs, sophisticated arrangements, and an earthy singing voice described by critics as âmesmerizing.â

Raised in both the USA and France, Marc's background is as unique, and compelling, as his music. In addition to his three CDs and tours, Marc has been a free-form DJ, a manager for John Cage and Merce Cunningham, and a composer of film, ballet and theater scores (including a London production of Les Liaisons Dangereuses).

His intimate songwriting style and sophisticated arrangements often evoke comparisons to artists such as Leonard Cohen, Elliott Smith, Nick Drake and Lou Reed -- though his sound is all his own. With his earthy voice, deep lyrics and seductive melodies, Farre manages to touch heart, mind and body all at once.
