On their second album, Denver, Colorado outfit Fell have planted a flag at the intersection point of post-rock, dream-pop and psychedelia, and claimed this unique place in the music continuum as their own. They have done this without expensive studios, name producers or extravagant budgets just a dedication to achieving sublime sonics, and a recognition of a very important guiding principle: "it's the song…stupid". The dark, post-Joy Division, post Disintegration-era Cure tonalities of their debut have been replaced by a shimmering, gorgeously-melodic trips that recall the more blissed out moments of bands like The Telescopes, as well as the space-pop of driving force Josh Wambeke's earlier project Phineas Gage. "Incoherent Lullabies" is all the more remarkable in that it was recorded part-time between 2004 and late-2007 largely by Wambeke himself, with occasional help from friends who cycled through the band at various times in that period.
As Josh says of the recordings, "Incoherent Lullabies is a record about memories. Each song on the record represents nostalgia about a person or place in time that I felt had a deep impact on me personally. Although the lyrics don't necessarily tell stories, they more or less explain the feelings of what I experienced. It is melancholy; however, there are a lot of hopeful moments in there as well. It was written and recorded during a time where I was beginning to shed the skin of my pre-adulthood adolescence. "Incoherent Lullabies" is a record about reflection".
Many tracks will create deep endorphin flows within the listener, and we recommend the haunting "Dust on Countertops", the coruscating psychedelic haze of "1997" and the explosive dynamics of "A Million Miniscule Christmas Lights" for your listening pleasure.
