WE ARE THE FALL Podcast

Steve Albini left this planet 2 years ago, and we recorded an episode (back in 2024; unreleased) covering his last release with Shellac, as well as The Fall's influence on his own music. He may or may not have been in collusion with Virgin trains, but enjoy this mini side-journey!

We drop into Side A of Imperial Wax Solvent (2008), where The Fall sound newly recharged, lean, locked-in, and firing on all cylinders. This lineup hits with precision and punch, channeling Mark E. Smith’s relentless vision into something sharp, immediate, and surprisingly accessible without losing any of the band’s edge. We break down how this era reshapes The Fall’s late-period identity into one of their most vital and underrated statements.

We're starting a new tradition on this 'Grammephone Friday'... the lads will be diving into a new series called Random Record Club: 'They are Appreciated!' (Season 2 of WATF), where they interrogate non-Fall albums that usually have some sort of Fall-connection. This first installment features the Country Teaser's first album 'Pastoral-- not Rustic' (1995). Frontman, Ben Wallers, is an avid Fall appreciator and his music across his various projects is well-worth the full interrogation. So let's get into SIDE A!
