Seasonal Falls - Happy Days
“A truly alluring sound of timeless folk songwriting. It’s a warm and intimate sound that’s impossible not to love and guaranteed to put a smile on your face.” – Plastic Mag
“I fell head over heels for the magic that’s hanging out before you here. Feels kind of like something Elliott Smith adjacent.” – Austin Town Hall
“There is something wonderfully appealing to be found in this debut release…Something that goes against the grain of the modern world, something considered and sensible, understated and honest.” – Big Takeover
“A fantastic blend of melodies and lyrics that speaks to our hearts and souls.” – Wolf In A Suit
“Immediately addictive.” – The Wild Is Calling
“Bright organs linger beautifully as the vocals escalate with subtle hookiness, immersing with an easy-going, harmonious charm throughout” – Obscure Sound
Seasonal Falls is the new recording project of Switzerland-based songwriter Roman Gabriel (The Kind Hills, The Dentals), joined by Andrew Pelletier (Fur Trader) who provides unique vocals and production. The tracks range between indie-pop, indie-folk and indie-rock and capture the band’s passion for quirky indie music in general and of the 90s in particular. Growing up with artists like Elliott Smith, Pavement, Wilco, Teenage Fanclub etc. has heavily influenced the sound, vocals and melodies of Seasonal Falls.
The home studio recorded songs are warm, mostly acoustic and pretty straight forward. Below the surface however, there are various antithetical qualities as the music is melancholy yet uplifting, silly yet sincere, and simple yet intriguing.
The music has received some positive feedback from various international blogs, drawing comparisons with artists like Elliott Smith, Andy Shauf and Sufjan Stevens.
