Formed in 2019, Fellahin Fall made a name for themselves with their album Tar a-Kan (2020) and their latest offering, Urbana, seamlessly continues their signature urban doom style.
The four-track EP is a haunting journey of an atomised man’s longing for liberation from the suffocating embrace of the metropolis.
Fellahin Fall’s urban doom style is characterised by a blend of crushing heaviness and harmonic melodies which creates a musical canvas that vividly captures the dichotomy between the desolation of city life and the aspirations for freedom.
The brooding music echoes the alienation while the vocals soar with a sense of freedom. They allow Urbana to unfold in a dreamlike state, as if floating through a void or, in the case of the atomized man, drifting through a barren city. The interplay of futuristic synths against the grounded elements of guitars, bass, and drums intertwines the present with an evocative vision of the future, leaving the listener suspended between two temporal strands.
With Urbana, Fellahin Fall musically shows the stark contrast between an urban existence and freedom.
