Missing Link feels like Real Farmer are more in charge of their expression than they've ever been. There's still the battering ram drums and punk spirit that's always been there, but through dabbling with a new armory of guitar effects and shifting the balance between the lead vocals and bassist Marrit's hypnotic backing vocals onto a more equal volume footing, it feels like new territory. This is their least austere number yet - embracing the boogie whilst frontman Jeroen's stonking delivery of a poetic tirade indicates a life on the edge.
Missing Link was produced by longtime ally Niek Van Den Driesschen and recorded at Far Out Sound Studios in Rotterdam - the Dutch city where the band's bassist Marrit Meinema and drummer Leon Harms reside as singer Jeroen and guitarist Peter continue to live further north in Groningen, where the band started out. It was mastered by Melbourne-based Mikey Young, who works mostly with garage, psych and punk (Amyl and the Sniffers, Preoccupations, The Chats).
