Zac Farro at The Blue Room at Third Man Records, 7/19/2025
The best solo projects do one of two things: They either double down on the thing you already know and love about an artist from their main gig, or they let them turn up dimensions of their personality that can’t shine quite as brightly in a group setting. On Paramore drummer Zac Farro’s debut solo release Operator, he nails the latter. This isn’t Farro’s first foray into non-Paramore pop music — he’s consistently produced synthpop gems as HalfNoise for more than a decade — but it’s a considered artistic statement, filled with warmth and pop clarity.
