A Rise (And Fall) of a Dilapidated Home - I'm Calling All the Lightes Out Now

B+ Tier

While this did release in 2023, it was on December 30th. Seeing as I made an exception for Chinese Football last year and already reviewed their EP Quit Running, featuring songs not used on this album. A Rise (And Fall) produces this fragile sound so delicate that the songs could fall apart at any moment. This one man project resembles Second Wave Midwest Emo as interpreted by a select few bands like BLA and Empire! Empire!, which is to say cathartic Midwest Emo with modern sensibilities. Infused with Post-Rock, this album is personal, confessional and serene, so please don’t miss out on this depressing musical adventure.
