COLLEGE FALL "Eleven Letters"

2008(HOOKED UP/RHYTHM BARREL) ¥1,365(taxin) POWERPOP of the month

これは切ない!!そよ風の如く爽やかな胸キュン・パワーポップ!オーストラリア出身、College Fallによるデビューアルバム。プロデュースはオージー・パワーポップ界の重鎮Michael Carpenter氏!意外にJimmy Eat Worldなどエモ系の影響も受けていそうなギターに瑞々しいコーラス、そして胸キュン過ぎるメロディ!!!The Wellingtonsとはまた違った、絶妙にせつなさ全開の男女ツインボーカルがこれでもかってくらいあなたに恋をしたくさせます。The SundaysやR.E.Mなどをルーツにもっているというのも、ただのポップバンドではないと感じられる所以か。代表曲"Gravity"は、今の混沌とした音楽シーンに”ハートフル”をキーワードにしてピリオドを打つ・・・そんなことを思ってしまうほどの可能性を秘めています!!

REVIEW
ROUGH TRADE RECORDS – SEPTEMBER 2007
For the fourth release on Plymouth based Ride Records, the label turns its eager ears to the other side of the world. Loveable types College Fall come mightily correct with “Gravity”, an anthemic, radio-friendly track coming on like the b**tard son of Postal Service and Frente, a track so beautiful it made Ride’s A&R swell up with pride. Just watch the old heads sing-a-long while the band takes in dates on their European tour over July and August.
