Fall Forever

‘Erase (Aubade)’ Alternate Version

“Like most of our songs, ‘Erase (Aubade)’ went through lots of different incarnations before the one that we chose to place on ‘Fall Forever’. This is one of its earlier iterations, with lyrics that ended up almost completely changed on the final version. In this version it’s much more of a classic pop song, so we thought it would be fun to release and share a more euphoric side of our inherent miserabilism.”

FEAR OF MEN – ” Sane “

Clear your schedule because you’ll probably end up replaying this track so many times it becomes a feature length film.  Fear Of Men are one of the most interesting bands in the UK right now. They released their second album Fall Forever earlier this year and it refines their artful balance of emotionally charged lyrics framed by metallic, almost cold sounding instrumentation. Their new video for “Sane”, is a perfect visual manifestation of that balance.

Beginning with front person Jessica Weiss climbing on top of a stone table strewn with a strange collection of objects, “Sane” plays on Fall Forever’s strong themes of passion and violence. Through a surreal narrative that looks a bit like Secret Garden meets Daisies, it deals with the forces of perception and control – taking the internal struggle of navigating a world that suddenly looks and feels different, and turning it inside out.

Give it a watch below, but make sure you have some time to spare because you’ll probably end up replaying it so many times.

I’m a monument to myself…half flesh, half stone…
Sane is from the album Fall Forever available

Back in June, Fear of Men played a DIY Presents album release show for their new LP ‘Fall Forever’ at St Pancras Old Church in London.

After coming back from a full US tour, the band have now revealed a live video from the show of ‘Fall Forever’ track ‘Until You’,

Our review of the album release show said “the space, with its significance, grandeur, and acoustics, elevates the already-gorgeous album to spellbinding”, and the new clip brings an even greater intensity to the album’s most crushing track.

Recorded live at Old St Pancras Church, London

FEAR OF MEN – ” Fall Forever ” Best Albums Of 2016

Fear Of Men's new album, Fall Forever, comes out June 3.

“Island,” a highlight from Fear Of Men’s new album Fall Forever, opens with a string of warped, looping sighs before fanning out into a string of swoonily propulsive pop choruses. At times, the effect is reminiscent of the early-’90s Britpop band The Sundays, albeit with a darker, more subtly discordant underbelly. “Island” is, after all, a song about independence and solitude — “Been dreaming of no one for so long,” Jessica Weiss sings at one point  but the overall sound is distinctly inviting.

Fall Forever, is the English band’s second album and follow-up to 2014’s terrific Loom. Typically, the distancing manifests itself in Weiss‘ ambivalent words, while the arrangements that surround her billow and bloom. A song like “Island” ultimately feels both personal and universal, as it captures the way getting older pushes you to carve out your own identity even as internal and external forces push you toward others.

Elsewhere on Fall Forever, darkness and light fuse to form multifaceted gems like “Trauma,” a buzzing nugget of gloomy accusation that nevertheless shimmers with a strange kind of buoyancy. Like the rest of this brisk, moody collection, it pulls the listener in several directions at once, only to land on a sweet spot every time.

Fall Forever is out now! Nearly two years in the making, we are so excited for you to hear it. We have announced tour dates in support of the album, including a very special album release launch Friday at St Pancras Old Church, London. Many more cities and countries announced – including upcoming UK date with Wild Nothing, a large US tour with Puro Instinct, and early fall tour dates announced for Germany, Sweden, Austria, Belgium and more to come!

FEAR of MEN – ” Sane / Trauma “

Brighton, UK based Fear of Men, first introduced themselves in the shape of 2013′s much praised singles compilation “Early Fragments,” they then presented their much anticipated debut album “Loom” for release in April 2014 and has just announced “Fall Forever” for release June 3rd, 2016 on Kanine Records.

After extensively touring in support of their acclaimed debut album, 2014’s ‘Loom’, Fear of Men decamped in the early months of 2015 to an outbuilding of a disused abattoir in rural Kent, England, to begin work on new material. Such an environment was fitting for a band determined to strip their sound back to the bone and build it up to make an album that would, on their live return, “make the stage shake”.

Fear of Men is Jessica Weiss (Guitar & Vocals), Daniel Falvey (Guitar), Michael Miles (Drums, Keys).

Taken from the album ‘Fall Forever’, released June 3rd on Kanine Records. “Fear Of Men are one of the most interesting bands in the UK right now.”

Now back with their second album Fall Forever,  here is their second single “Trauma”, which is about coping with trauma, accepting it, and taking control of it to find empowerment in moving on. “You give me trauma / You give me more than I can bear / I rise above you / I burn my body on the fire,” Weiss sings over dark synths, drilling snares, and feedback that rumbles in the distance like a stormcloud. Building to a crescendo, Weiss frees herself at the end as the music cuts out and the line “There’s nothing to keep me here” echos out on its own.
