Early 2000s college dorm post-rock.
sorry for the delay. i had been on a creative block for a while. this album is the filtered tracks of a LOT that i wrote. different from the previous ep, unmarked, and the previous deleted ep (because it was nonsense), clouds feel heavy, i didn't put straight influences in my mind while making it. sure, i had influences- i can name a major one for each song- but it wasn't as much a big deal as it had been. and i think that helped me with the creative block. this ep, i think, is one more step further on my path to indie glory. and another love letter to the things i listen to. "occasionally" is the most unmarked-lite song here. it has got all of the fall breaks stuff- shoegazey guitars (is it a stretch? i will assume not), post-punkish rhythm section, catchy melody... "with your eyes" is a funny song- i had already decided it was rubbish and was going to leave it rotting in my hard drive, until i found myself singing it. countless times. it is catchy as hell. i had to leave it in. you people can tell me what you think about it. i MEAN that. send me an e-mail: [email protected] feedback is always good. so are other e-mail subjects. "somehow" was my attempt at a "velocity girl" / "what you do to me" type of song. you gotta love an economic pop song. and "everybody knows i've gotta grow up", as i discuss further in the individual description, is inspired by acoustic radio session bootlegs from the late 90s, from artists such as noel gallagher and richard ashcroft (okay, primarily these two). i hope it was worth the wait. not just your wait, but my wait. i missed fall breaks, man.
Lo-fi instrumental guitar pieces. Primitive shoegaze. Proto-post-rock.

This track is meant to represent the position I was in years ago. It's a reflective piece, for loving the comfort of the relationship more than the person. It's one of things you don't realize until hindsight, just because it becomes your norm and thinking about it would disrupt your status quo. I chose a lamp because, I thought it'd be a good correlation where, yeah I guess my lamp is cool but I like my lamp because it gives light. Not because it's a lamp but what the lamp does for me. Artwork was done by the super talented @ruthileblue on instagram. Go check out her work she's awesome. This track was heavily inspired by the j rock band Mass of Fermenting Dregs, the Korean shoegaze artist Parannoul, and the Singaporean band Blush. Check out my profile for more codes!

track by fyr Excluding feelings from thy, without knowing, not being this soul, understanding it stops.
Warning: strong emotions ahead! The odd die-hard metalhead is bound to dismiss this with utter bewilderment. However, for those who mourned the break-up of HIM, this will warm their hearts. And not just them, because Jacob’s Fall are musically far more mature than Ville Valo and co. Deine Lakaien are probably the best comparison to describe the atmospheric depth of the instrumentals and the wonderfully fragile vocals of frontman Christian Faust. ‘Dying Machine’, ‘Tracks In The Sand’, ‘I Need My Girl’… One song more beautiful than the next. (METAL HAMMER - Germany)
11 track album Lost in Silence is a rock album, of course, but it’s also more than that. Jacob’s Fall may have a playful and progressive sound, but at the same time it’s seductively catchy, dramatic, and extremely atmospheric, slow and immersed in the deepest minor tones. Jacob’s Fall’s music often has a dark yet always melodic aura, even in its heaviest sonic moments. It’s a sound you don’t forget once you’ve heard it. The band draws from various musical genres to weave the listener into a web of melancholy, with a steel-like core of determination. Plus, the eleven songs on the album will pull you out of everyday life and tell stories full of passion and pain.
