"Hope is being able to see that there is light,
despite all of the darkness.”
(Desmond Tutu)
This album is about the Hard Times and the the Hurricanes we're all living through, thinking to a Brighter Past which Our Hearts
still jelously keep and recall. Darkness will fade away.
Reviews:
"Faint Ridges, Broken Promises, a journey of rebirth, of light, of hope In a moment of darkness, when everything seems shrouded in silence and storm, there is a light that still shines. A hope hidden within the folds of our hearts, ready to shine when we least expect it. This light reminds us that even in the most difficult times, hope is being able to see beyond the darkness, to recognize the glimmer of a better tomorrow. From this spirit comes Fallen's new album, Faint Ridges, Broken Promises, a journey through the challenges and storms that have tested us. A tale of resilience, of luminous memories that guide us and give us strength. Every note, every sound, is a fragment of hope, a reminder of brighter times that we jealously guard. Released through Neotantra, Faint Ridges, Broken Promises is an embrace during the darkest nights, a reminder that the darkness will fade, making way for the light. Because, as Desmond Tutu says, hope is that vision that allows us to still believe, to move forward, to dream of a new dawn. The album is divided into two tracks; the first, "Faint Ridges," can be further divided into three distinct moments. The opening section is pure ambient, in which suspended atmospheres emerge, guitar patterns and essential rhythms intertwine with empty spaces, creating a deeply immersive sonic experience. At the heart of the track, distant, reverberating mechanics pulse gently beneath a blanket of misty atmospheres. The low tones become more perceptible, almost tangible, helping to highlight the more electronic component of the production. It's a transitional moment that blends the warmth of the music with a sense of vastness and mystery, as if the sound were expanding and merging with the air itself. The final section of Faint Ridges is distinguished by a slowly expanding pulse, allowing the field recordings and an intense piano part to emerge. It's a sweet and surprising conclusion, a natural progression after about 22 minutes of listening: an enveloping finale, capable of leaving a profound and reflective impression on the listener. Despite an airy and enveloping introduction, the second track, "Broken Promises," opens with an electronic pattern that immediately paves the way for a hypnotic and majestic synth line. Unlike the first production, this track is more linear and direct, yet it still features surprising moments, such as the piano introduction or the unexpected vocals that break the predictability of the sound. It's a song that fits perfectly into the broader Fallen universe, representing a piece typical of his now recognizable and distinctive style, yet still manages to captivate the listener with subtle nuances and sonic surprises. Faint Ridges, Broken Promises is a work distinguished by its atmospheric coherence and intrinsic charm. The two tracks, while maintaining distinct sonic characteristics, come together in a journey of introspection and rebirth, inviting the listener to immerse themselves in Fallen's unique world. Each song is an open door to a sonic universe rich with emotion, mystery, and hope, and the pleasure of exploring it lies precisely in its ability to engage and inspire. Welcome to Fallen's journey. A journey of rebirth, of light, of hope. A sonic journey that aims to be an embrace and a reminder to never stop believing in the power of rebirth and the power of music as a beacon in the darkness."
