“Our Own Demise” is the latest single from Fallen Letters, the India-based band that first caught our ears last year with the track “Remain A Memory.” “Our Own Demise” succeeds with a more introspective, patiently unfolding appeal, representing the fourth track from their debut EP. Vishal Naidu (vocals, guitars, bass, keys) and Aditya Ramesh (guitars, bass, backing vocals) led a riveting sound and atmospheric production on this standout track.
Somber, wintry piano reflections lead a spacious soundscape to start, quickly complemented by brisk acoustics and steady percussion. “Looking into the sky,” contemplative vocals stir as twangy guitars enter, thematically referring to a sense of renewal — with tides washing the past away — as an ardent chorus arrives. “Demise, I fall for you,” the vocals lament in this emotive sequence, punctuated by a chilling bridge with piano, acoustics, and somber strings. “Our Own Demise” is a memorable, impassioned single from the project, which continues to impress with its no-frills, emotive songwriting.
