Hidden Shoal Recordings today announced the release of the album Measure And Step by Perth-based compelled acoustic spacemakers Fall Electric.
Drawing influences from neo-folk, indie-rock and avant-pop, Measure And Step effortlessly carves its own inimitable niche in the contemporary Australian musical landscape. From edgy, urgent single ‘Faithless Friend’ through the gorgeous submarine sway of ‘Twine Of Wool’ to the hovering acoustic cinematics of ‘He Told Me So’, the album spans all shades of the emotional and textural spectrum. Equal parts turbulent and soothing, funny and serious, Measure And Step offers compelling evidence of the depth of Fall Electric’s songwriting.
Featuring members of Adam Said Galore and Schvendes, the band recorded the album with Casey Rice, who has worked with the likes of Tortoise, Stereolab and Grand Salvo.
“They’re the kind of musicians who together are capable of mesmerizing audiences into complete silence” – Drum Media
Measure And Step is now available through Hidden Shoal Recordings in both CD and digital format. For Perth fans the CD is stocked at all good local music stores including Dada Records, 78 Records, Planet Music and Mills. All availability and distribution information can be found at the HSR Store.
