R.J.F.

R.J.F. is the solo project of Ross J. Farrar, a Bay Area-based musician, writer, and photographer known primarily as the frontman for the bands Crisis Man, Ceremony, and SPICE. Under the R.J.F. name, Ross explores a more experimental and poetic sound, blending spoken word abstraction with elements of punk pathos, drone, no-wave, and avant-jazz. His 2025 album *Cleaning Out The Empty Administration Building* features raw, honest reflections on themes like love, addiction, fatherhood, and modern life, marked by unpolished instrumentation and open-ended lyrical dialogues.

This project represents a moment of vulnerability and artistic freedom for Farrar, combining found sounds, drum patterns, guitar, bass, and keys in a distinctive mix that showcases his versatility beyond his band work. R.J.F.'s music invites listeners to not overthink but rather experience a candid expression of personal and societal themes through experimental soundscapes.
