With the release of "Fun Crumbles," Seasonal Falls offers a delightful and reflective 90s indie pop rock affair that is just as refreshing. The Swiss recording project is helmed by songwriter Roman Gabriel, effortlessly achieving a classic blend of new beginnings with the addition of Andrew Pelletier on vocals and production.
The music of "Fun Crumbles" is paradoxically retro and engaging, tapping into the halcyon days of indie pop but with a contemporary emotional center. The five-track EP, which spans 17 minutes of heartfelt storytelling and melodic craftsmanship, is full of themes about getting older, navigating family life, and savoring the little moments that make it all worth it.
Emerging from Roman’s fight with a chronic illness, Seasonal Falls began as a lo-fi creative outlet, an experiment that grew into something wonderfully communal. With Fun Crumbles, the project further builds upon its evolution, delving into larger soundscapes and heavier emotional depth while losing none of its gentile DIY charm.
Highlights like “Quiet Time,” “All Alone,” and “Australia” demonstrate the pair’s skill at pairing forlorn lyrics with sun-soaked arrangements. There’s a reminder that even as “fun crumbles,” there’s always joy to be found in the cracks.
