about

FELL is the musical alias of London-based artist, illustrator and musician Nicolas Burrows, as aided and abetted by band members Jon Rulton (Bear Driver, Dream Giant), Dav Shiel (Beth Jeans-Houghton & The Hooves of Destiny) and Matt Giraudeau (Dogtanion).

Mallows Marsh is Fell’s second full-length album – an ambitious, patchwork record full of mood shifts, flicking about lyrically through Anglo-Saxon healing charms, pastoral horror, horticultural murder-ballads, mid-Brexit snapshots and ruminations on personal myth-making. Sonically it’s full of wobbly guitars and woozy organs, with chamber-pop arrangements giving way to krautrock, raga and drone-inspired passages. Imagine 70s west coast psychedelia woven into eccentric English pastoral pop. Think XTC meets Love and Mayo Thompson. Produced once again by Dan Blackett, the album features Welsh artist Bedwyr Wiliams and master saxophonist Steve Hamilton (Madness, Noel Gallagher), with arrangements by Sean O’ Hagan (The High Llamas).

About first single, ‘We Could Do Anything’, Nicolas writes:

“I wrote this quickly then I listened to a lot of XTC and that really seeped into the arrangement. The chorus has big echoes of the Velvet Underound’s ‘Who Loves the Sun’ doesn’t it? It might sound like some sort of post-pandemic anthem, but really, it’s about living in the future and not really achieving anything in the present – “mañana, mañana”. I drew a picture of a car driving off a cliff into a beautiful sunset for the artwork, but maybe that’s more reflective of what the song sounds like in the current political/world context… anyway, maybe if the Hindus and the Buddhists are right and the universe is cyclical, we all get another go?”

Still Life
by Massage

Remember how Bill Murray woke up to I Got You Babe every day in Groundhog Day? If that song would have been Made Of Moods, he at the very least experienced three and a half perfect minutes each day. It’s one of those songs that I enjoy each and every second of, with it’s jangly guitars and hushed vocals that almost have a Beach Boys vibe, especially in the verse. Truly, it’s a song for the ages. But the best news about Still Life is that it offers eleven additional underground pop gems. Niek || Add To Wantlist
