A gripping rock ferocity is showcased on “Falling Apart,” a new single from Undergone. The Katowice, Poland-based band deftly balance those moments of distortion-friendly intensity with more serene dreaminess. The five-piece excel with a structural array that resembles a dream turning into a nightmare, or a sunny day that gets quickly overtaken by looming storm clouds. “Falling Apart” is a definitive atmospheric rock success with equally compelling themes, described by the act as “a sonic portrayal of emotional disintegration.”
“Falling Apart” sets into motion with haunting guitar gauziness and slight percussive pit-pattering, exuding a nocturnal intrigue before a swell of distortion takes hold prior to the one-minute turn. A clamoring rhythmic element arrives alongside, bolstering the palpable heavy-rock momentum. A seamless shift occurs thereafter, shifting into a dreamier introspection as the vocals enter — lyrically wondering whether “if it’s imagination or if it’s real.” “I really want you stay,” their yearning further conveys, blasting forward into more invigorating doses of guitar textures. “Falling Apart” enthralls in its range of lush contemplation and heavier ardor.
