(2015) Falls - Omaha



Review:
Australian male-female duo (Simon Rudston-Brown and Melinda Kirwin) Falls offer catchy, introspective indie folk with warm vocal harmonies on their full- length debut, Omaha. Recorded in Omaha, Nebraska after the pair relocated to the U.S., it was produced by Mike Mogis, who’s also produced for the likes of Jenny Lewis, First Aid Kit, Bright Eyes, and M. Ward.
With Kirwin and Rudston-Brown sharing songwriting duties and trading lead vocals, the album features string arrangements from Tony Buchen — the producer behind the band’s first EP, Hollywood,
Amid folkier entries, the upbeat “Summer” plays like ’60s AM pop, “Better Way to Go” issues alt-country, and the lead single, “Let the Light In,” features Kirwin’s melancholy vocals with atmospheric strings and gentle reverberation for a swirling ballad.
