Italy‑based dark ambient and electronic artist and fall and fall and fall has announced the arrival of her new album, The Meadows, set for digital release on 24 February via UKhan Records. To mark the reveal, she has released a music video for "Mauvais Goût", offering a first glimpse into the album’s spectral inner world.
The Meadows unfolds like a transmission from elsewhere — a place where echoes of forgotten realms drift through pale horizons and sleepless dawns. The album evokes diaphanous beings mourning a world long vanished, breathing their fierce nostalgia into cold mornings where a weak sun trembles behind milk‑white skies. It is a journey through transatlantic melancholies and imagined frozen deserts, suspended between the threat of the next ambush and the inevitability of the next flood.
At its core lies a sense of longing without resolution: the futile nostalgia of the lost, the weight of desolation, the quiet tragedy of innocence confronted by the abyss. Electrified chasms open beneath the fragile hearts of country girls; scandal and sorrow bloom in the same breath.
Musically, The Meadows channels these visions through a palette of neoclassical distortions, chamber electronics, industrial unrest, pre‑apocalyptic ambient textures, lo‑fi haze, decrepit pianos, and the ghostly charm of ruined cassette tapes. Hallucinatory rural trip‑hop surfaces like a ritual dance — a feral celebration offered to the Queen of a rain‑soaked May.
Artist Dora L, the creative force behind and fall and fall and fall, has also revealed the album’s artwork, while the full tracklist is available below.
If "Mauvais Goût" is any indication, The Meadows promises to be one of the year’s most evocative and unsettling dark ambient journeys — a work steeped in memory, myth, and the quiet violence of longing. Link
