Fallesque

This sounds like Scanlon/Burns/Hanley/Riley/Hanley-era Fall with Annabella Lewin singing. Or is it just me!?

Adam, surely thou art correct.
The breakdown to the bass at 2.03 is classic.
Great track!!


 

Thank you for this! Great song and I've just bought the album. Shame they only were around for a single studio album, but sometimes that's for the best!

I just listened to it another 10 times on the trot!

If you want another nailed on classic then try this: – not Fallesque though.

Yes, very good - totally new to me, as well.

Got a "Theme from Joe 90" vibe right at the start. Probably just me.

BTW it was Ezra Furman that played it on Radio 6.

Ezra played some really good tracks and some crap!

Another corker was Pastor TL Barrett & Youth For Christ Choir. Almost had me believin'.

Another goodie was Hero by Michael Kiwanuka who I'd never heard of.

No it's not just you.

It's such an accurate ethnic forgery that were Smif alive today he'd have something caustic to say about it.

The Michael Kiwanuka album - Kiwanuka - is outstanding. One of my favorites of the last couple of years. About as far from The Fall as you can get, but magnificent.

Brilliant stuff! I love them. Sue Tompkins is one of the most original and idiosyncratic vocalists ever. Her spoken word stuff is really good too.

The vocals are the clincher on this album. She's outstanding. An urgent but playful style without much yelling. The music reminds me a lot of some 90s indie rock, like the post-Slint, more gentle sounds of The For Carnation and the like, or predating that, some Go-Betweens. A couple of songs would've sounded spot-on late Weddoes if David Gedge had started singing. Very consistent instrumentation throughout, not a lot of fucking around with different sounds or styles. The songs are fairly pop-structured but can have stretches of that repetition we so love. There's not a lot of grit in here - not a complaint given the overall tone. It works. I don't know that I'll have it in heavy rotation, but I'll definitely be listening to it more. I have to admit I tainted my palate in a good way this morning by listening to both sides of Entertainment! by GO4 and this one brought my blood pressure down.

Again, the singer makes it - thanks, Scott for mentioning her spoken word work. I'll check it out.?

Speaking of Glaswegians, I still listen to Prolapse all the time. I think their apex was the version of "Visa for Violet and Van" that was on one of the Volume compilations, but the earlier, darker stuff is always a good, lurking evil and I still like the brighter, poppier later stuff. Another band that did its thing then dispersed to get on with life.?

Rich Kidd, are you here? I think I ask you every 10 years if I remembered to send you that Prolapse/Ears go FFF split 7" so let me know - my head's in a better place now and I have the ability to remember to put it in the mail to you.?

Ah, Prolapse. I haven't thought about them in years. A friend and I
spent a very enjoyable drunken evening in Berlin helping a local translate
the lyrics to Surreal Madrid.

yes, Prolapse, I listened to The Italian Flag a week ago, plus others, was on a roll
I LIKE Prolapse (music) and not minded if others have actual Prolapses (I've even watched videos of uncommon (?) eroticisms with people with prolapsed parts, tho not my 'bag')

There are a lot of bands that I wouldn't necessarily have listened to if wasn't for Fallnet, Prolapse included. I stll
enjoy their records. I think I probably have Fallnet to thank for Guided By Voices as well, and doubtless many
others.

Back in the early/mid 90s my only other reliable source of new music were the fantastic Volume comps as mentioned
below. I had a complete run until they started buggering around with the format, which made it far less attractive
?a proposition. i heard Disco Inferno and Goldfrapp for the first time via Volume cds.

What are / were Volume comps?

You got the CD plus a thick CD-case sized booklet with interviews, more info etc.?

There were a couple of Fall appearances, both with accompanying interviews:

The concept started with a couple?of very handsome vinyl compilations called "Abstract" with a?slick 'zine included, then moved to CD and were renamed as Volume with the ubiquitous fish motif. They used to pop up everywhere in used music shops. Rob Deacon, the mastermind, also founded Sweatbox Records (named for a Wolfgang Press song), which gave rise to Meat Beat Manifesto, The Anti-Group Conspiracy, A Primary Industry/Ultramarine, and a lot of other electronic/industrial/dance groups. Great label, great aesthetic, kind of a concept like 4AD or Factory but not quite. Sadly rather short-lived as Deacon died young in some kind of swimming accident.?

I have a ton of the old Sweatbox vinyl and most of the Volume comps in storage.
