Falling Inside by Nyles Lannon
From Badman Recording Company:
Falling Inside combines the sound of classic folk pop with chillwave and shoegaze bliss. The eleven tracks float with droney atmospheres and electronic textures.
Right out of the gates, the ska-like syncopation of “Kill All These Machines” proves how difficult it is to pigeonhole him as a singer/songwriter. Lannon juxtaposes sparse acoustic guitar with samples of his old records of middle eastern traditional music, a spare 808 bass drum and backwards guitars to create a thumping electro-folk backdrop for his soft vocal melodies. Standout “Dreamer” is built on his signature blend of acoustic guitar and synths, which is as fresh as ever. With spacey atmospheres and blurry melodic lines, his songs seem to always live in the twilight of a dream.
Seattle station KEXP has picked the song “Dreamer” as their Podcast Song of the Day.
“Lannon’s ambient experiences run throughout “Dreamer”, an energetic, psychedelic stomper. As Lannon whispers “I’m just a dreamer” during the songs hazy bridge, it feels like a culmination of the tension between the percussive rhythms and ethereal textures, augmenting each other to form something as direct as it is hypnotic.” - KEXP Radio
The song "Another Love" was featured in the show Shadowhunters.
