Fallen Letters - Forlorn Pages
Fallen Letters are on a roll, they have released their first ever EP- Forlorn Pages and it is a dreamy dystopian rock journey. Rock as a genre is fascinating and tends to elicit a plethora of emotions and textures with every chord. The dynamic duo- Vishal Naidu and Aditya Ramesh, have given us a smoke-laced number that draws its essence from the elements of rock, metal and experimental genres. Forlorn Pages is a shot that is a concoction of the most ethereal embers of the psyche. They have given us the perfect storm that shakes the tectonic plates of the heart. For A While with Fallen Letters The 30-second Prologue builds the perfect suspense of what is to come. The ambience in the track is what really sets the stage. And in a flash, we are herded into For A While. It begins with their staple guitar section. It seems to be the backbone of the song and it only flourishes with intensity as the song picks up pace. The theme of the album is balming old wounds. The wounds of a very particular heartbreak that is beautifully delivered by the hazy voice of Vishal Naidu. Relapse Relapse is where they switch things up with the ambience. They give us more eerie and suspense at the beginning. They shave away at the haze and give us more precise and distinct notes. Notes that emit feelings of certainty that aren’t all that wise. The production of this album is excruciatingly detailed. They have moulded this track with incredible definition. We go from flowy and hazy sounds to more deeper and intense sounds. The guitar sections in this track are what take the cake. They give us so much variety that is seamlessly tucked away between sections until the crescendo. Beneath The Opaque Veil Beneath The Opaque Veil is what I suspect will be the listener's favorite. The track is filled with a phenomenal amount of drama. Within the first minute of the song, we move from mellow to a wrecking ball hurling at you. And all this by just the strings and by the time the drums se kick in, the beat rumbles and roars in your chest. All of this brings in some eerie vocals that slowly swell and engage in this surreal dance with the instrumental that leaves a scene rich with imagery. The duo swirls and carefully spins your emotions in a tango where you struggle to find your feet. There is no use trying to figure out what is to come, they have filled the album with so many sparks of surprises. There is no option but to submit to the music. A film that deeply moved the crowds is Gus Van Sant's Last Days and Forlorn Pages match the exact energy of the film to the T. They give us a rainbow of very human emotions that keep us on our toes.
