Synopsis

Album Description
The emotional vengeance of Ever We Fall creates layers of sonic texture fashioned with a wall of guitars, motivating melodies, and catching hooks delivered with raw energy and half grins. The Oregon four-piece blends aspects of punk, indie rock, and pop to create a danceable, enjoyable, and unpretentious sound. With song arrangements, lyrics, and style that run much deeper than the average pop-punk band, Ever We Fall makes a lasting impression.

Death Cab Meets Jimmy Eat World
Kevin | California | 03/04/2006
(4 out of 5 stars)

"Ever We Fall has definately stumbled upon a middle ground between indie and mainstream 'radio friendly' pop rock.



Though, the number one thing that comes to mind is that these guys draw a strong likeness to that of Death Cab in its vocals, and Jimmy Eat World in its sound (from the Clarity/Static Prevails era). By combining the two elements and throwing in the polished production and mixing, you get 'We Are But Human', which has a pseudo-pop appeal that becomes completely demolished (for the better) when reaching the closing tracks of album.



I mean, let's not get ahead of ourselves here, this piece of work is nowhere near the scope of being a masterpiece, but it was impressive in its own right. A handful of tracks kept me listening all the way through, and evernmore so, the instrumentation at times simply blew me away. Unexpected transitions and twists, atmospheric solos...those were the things that kept me interested. As far as I'm concerned, Ever We Fall has the ability to make a perfect record, it seems as if this one is only starting to put the pieces together.



A couple track breakdowns:



04. No Sleep For Dreaming - Probably one of the best tracks of the entire album -- if not the best. After hearing the three previous songs, it was about time to shift into something more fast paced and semi-cinematic -- the lead guitarist takes you though each chorus with a smooth solo that's as fitting as it is necessary to immerse you into the flow of the sound.



06. G - Has great transitions from easy going verses to total drum assault during the choruses.



08. No Words To Describe - One of the slower songs that continually builds as it goes along, starting with vocals on top of light drums, and then progressing into more intricate guitars and atmospherics. Everything comes together powerfully in the chorus, and then settles back down again with a smooth break in the middle of the track. Equally melodic and emotional.



09. Great Day For An Airstrike - Another song that ties for best of the album. This song is by far the most original, with synth-like beats throughout the intro verse. The chorus completely twists into a complex riff sequence. Awesome vocals throughout.



12. Welcome To Fhloston Paradise - The closer that sounds like two completely different songs when hitting the halfway point. One final example of how the band unpredictably shifted their sound to their advantage. A fitting way to end the album."
