Capturing the “disorientation of modern life,” “Falling” is a commanding new track from Frank From Blue Velvet. The Hastings, UK-based trio craft an eerily enveloping sound throughout, with rumbling guitars and lonesome vocal immersion combining for a lasting impact, reminiscent aesthetically of Roxy Music.
The menacing vocal presence is befitting of a project named after one of cinema’s most memorable antagonists. “I keep falling,” the vocals lament, captivating especially during a final sequence of unsettling string-like eeriness. “Falling” is a stylish, delectably creepy success from Frank From Blue Velvet.
The project comprises “a father, his ‘spirited’ daughter, and the original drummer from Peter And The Test Tube Babies.”
