Chris Farren
The following description was submitted by the event organizer.
On Born Hot, Farren fully embodies the sensitive-goofball dichotomy found in all his work, especially his exuberant live show: a solo performance in which he plays to live-recorded backing tracks while projecting purposely wacky visuals (his face duplicated thousands of times, text that reads "ANOTHER PERFECT SET" at the end of each closing song). By the same token, Farren went full-on tongue-in-cheek in choosing Born Hot's title and cover art — a crudely drawn self-portrait that captures him lounging shirtless, looking every bit the '70s-pop Lothario.
"In my lyrics, there's so much self-examination that teeters on self-loathing, and I like to juxtapose that with an aesthetic that's completely the opposite," says Farren. "It's a defense mechanism because I feel embarrassed talking about my feelings so very plainly, but at the same time, I also just find the idea of having that much self-confidence really funny."
