Seasonal Falls is a new recording project led by Switzerland-based songwriter Roman Gabriel, who finds his musical counterpart in the emotive vocals of Andrew Pelletier. The duo’s passion for quirky indie music that draws inspiration from the 90s informs their mostly acoustic sound, lifted by dazzling harmonies and wrapped in a warm, DIY aesthetic.
The heart of Seasonal Falls’ sound lies in their penchant for crafting refined, home-recorded songs that cover shades of indie pop, folk and indie rock. Having crafted their shared sonic vision, they’ve built up plenty of original material that they’re ready to share with the world.
Now, unveiling their sound to the world, they share their brand new debut single titled “Reach for Nearby,” a delicate indie folk song that marks Seasonal Falls’ artistic entrance. Opened by soft plucks of acoustic guitar, Andrew’s hushed vocals enter with the gentle tap of soft percussion, threading bashful lyricism via smooth melodies.
With the patter of snare rattles, bright guitar chords and beautifully layered vocal harmonies, the chorus crafts a truly alluring sound of timeless folk songwriting. It’s a warm and intimate sound that’s impossible not to love and guaranteed to put a smile on your face. With the second verse, the arrangement develop with elegant piano plinks, accenting the intricate backing from the guitar.
It’s a heartwarming song brimming with breezy melodies and delivered by graceful vocals and laid back, yet deft musicianship capped by slick guitar lead flutters in the final moments. “Reach for Nearby” offers up a compelling artistic statement from a charming new musical partnership who are sure to capture the interest of listeners around the world, and keep them hooked as they continue to roll out their delightful sound.
Looking ahead to next year, Seasonal Falls is currently adding the final touches to their debut album, set to drop mid-2024. With the promise of a new single in January, the duo is set to continue winning over audiences with their delightful sound. “Reach for Nearby” is a worthy debut from this talented pair and we can’t wait to see what the other sides of their creative output will deliver.
