Farpoint new album recording complete

We are pleased to announce that recording has been completed for Farpoint's 5th album, entitled KINDRED. It takes a different turn from some of the recent material we've recorded, but we think it still sounds like Farpoint. Editing and mixing are underway, and we hope for a release sometime around late summer.
