Whale Fall
Hailing from Los Angeles, California, Whale Fall is an instrumental group featuring traditional rock instrumentation interfused with more pastoral strokes of piano, brass, cello and a touch of analog synth. Although based in similar musical ground as the first two records, on their latest 10-track release “Sondersongs,” the band is not afraid to bend the listeners’ ears toward a wider range of genre references and nods to decades past, with individual tracks shifting from plaintive piano pieces and chiming acoustic passages to shimmering dream pop guitar tones, more elaborate horn arrangements and blaring rock anthems.
