Fall |
Mark E. Smith & Co. (aka the Fall) have managed to maintain a twenty-two-year career, a legion of rabid fans, a host of challenging and influential albums, and serendipitously have dipped their little toes into the mainstream of the mighty music river. Possessing a deadly wit, scathing sociopolitical commentary, and a sing-speak vocal style that is one of the most distinct in rock 'n' roll, singer-songwriter Smith surrounded himself with like-minded provocateurs. Simple, yet extremely edgy beats spur on minimalist riffs and off-kilter melody lines develop through dissonant, atonal harmonies that always maintain a spirit of exuberant mischief. Even when the music was at its most abrasive and noisy, bassist Steve Hanley and ringleader Smith managed to keep the songs driving and danceable.Find Fall cds and Fall records on Cog Sinister Records. |
