Newcomers Seasonal Falls is a recording project led by Switzerland-based songwriter Roman Gabriel, whose collaboration with singer Andrew Pelletier forms the core of their enchanting sound. With a shared passion for indie music, particularly drawn from the 90s era, Seasonal Falls delivers a mostly acoustic sound adorned with dazzling harmonies with a DIY aesthetic.
Drawing inspiration from artists such as Elliott Smith, Pavement and Sufjan Stevens, Seasonal Falls crafts refined, home-recorded songs that traverse the spheres of indie pop, folk and soft rock. In November last year, they made their entrance with the debut single “Reach for Nearby” and shared their indie folk sound with the world.
Followed up by singles two and three earlier this year, they now bring us their latest effort with the brand new single titled “Lie Down.” The final track released ahead of their upcoming debut full-length record in May, “Lie Down” presents the more rock-focused side of their musical output.
Penned during long contemplative walks, the song hosts a message of the importance of taking a break when life’s challenges surge and become overwhelming. Brought in by the gentle twang of clean guitar, the soft taps of drums set a lilting rhythm as Andrew’s delicate vocals delivered hushed lyricism via mellow melodies.
Spinning lyrics about hurdles in life with the ultimately optimistic theme of taking a step back, having a breath and slowing down for the sake of your own wellbeing. Flowing with a warm arrangement of guitars wrapped in subtle grit and carried by the ever-present sway of the rhythm, “Lie Down” offers a delectable indie folk rock experience from start to finish.
Bringing their enduring songwriting to life via assured performance and intimate production, the new single sees Seasonal Falls confirm their status as credible songwriters and talented music makers while building the excitement for the upcoming debut album release on the 10th of May.
