Reversing Falls debut EP “Recoder” brings together a blend of influences and a messy pop-rock sound that draws comparisons to Pavement, Guided by Voices, and a more abrasive Sloan.
The band is closely associated with other Montreal groups like Parlovr, Cotton Mouth, and Nightwood adds an interesting dynamic to their musical background.
The short length of the tracks, around 1-2 minutes each, suggests a concise and punchy approach to their music.
This brevity might contribute to the precision-crafted, filler-free nature of their guitar pop.
The EP being produced by Martin Horn further suggests a commitment to a certain level of quality in their sound.
With the comparison to Cotton Mouth and Parlovr, it seems like Reversing Falls shares a common ground with the messy pop-rock sound that characterized those bands.
Additionally, the nod to the 1980s lo-fi British rock sound adds another layer of influence to their musical palette.
If you enjoy bands with a raw and energetic pop-rock vibe, Reversing Falls’ “Recoder” EP seems like it could be right up your alley.
The connections to other Montreal bands and the influence of iconic acts like Pavement and Guided by Voices make it a promising listen for fans of indie and alternative rock.
