Seasonal Falls Prepare The Unbearable Loudness of Stupidity

I first fell in love with Switzerland’s Seasonal Falls in the lead-up to their album, Happy Days; it was a record with some pastoral folk feels spliced with elements of bedroom pop. Next week they’ll be releasing their follow LP, The Unbearable Loudness of Stupidity, which I can only assume is a nod to America, right? Regardless, the album’s opener is the perfect indiepop feel, and its execution is something I’d put right alongside the best of the Lucksmiths. It’s a bouncing bit of folk-infused pop, working with this feathered vocal discussing a strained relationship where the narrator has built up a protective wall. For me, there’s this stretching guitar bit in the end that’s both forlorn and bright, which is the perfect summation of the vibes you’ll take away. Look for the new LP next week!
