Falling (LP)

Seattle trio Dude York have returned with their new full-length Falling - their tribute to adolescent romance and the pop-punk that proliferated on the FM radio wavelengths of yesteryear.

Peter Richards (guitar) and England (bass) share equal songwriting and lead vocal duties on this record, a significant change from their previous album, 2017's Sincerely, on which England fronted only two songs. The duality of their songwriting and vocals complement each other emotionally and sonically, with Andrew Hall's harmonies and driving drums providing their own unique character in each song. The collaboration is clear-each part is carefully crafted, with Richards' guitar adding texture to the verses and then soaring into the particularly special kind of guitar solos that make you want to sing along.
