    We take a detour into The Remainderer EP (2013), a potent burst from The Fall that hits with bite. These tracks feel immediate with sharp turns, and MES in full command, delivering lines of menace and dark humor. We dig into how this EP captures the band in a raw in-between by bridging ideas while still standing strong as a Fall essential statement.

    Mark Kennedy's first concert was The Fall in 1979, and he has gone on to create the album artwork for Reformation Post TLC, Your Future Our Clutter, and Ersatz GB, as well as many of the most iconic public mosaics representing MES. Above all, he was MES's mate, and therefore, you are in for a treat as Mark guides us through a number of entertaining stories and Fall insights. Cheers Mark!

    SIDE A was only getting us ready for the choice side, SIDE B: The album pushes further into its own strange terrain, part driving rhythm, part unraveling structure, all held together by sheer force of intent. This is where Re-Mit reveals its deeper layers, with tracks that stretch, collide, and refuse to settle. We unpack the tension, the momentum, and the sense that The Fall are still finding new angles, even this late in the game.

    Gather 'round mates, as we drop into Side A of Re-Mit (2013), where The Fall sound wiry, restless, and fully locked into their late-period stride. The grooves feel live, almost volatile, riffs snapping into place while Mark E. Smith delivers one of his most animated, unpredictable performances of this era. We dig into how this opening stretch blends propulsion with looseness, giving Re-Mit a raw, immediate edge.

    [PATREON PREVIEW:] Random Record Club (#3): We drop the needle on Side A of Lick My Decals Off, Baby and step straight into Captain Beefheart’s fractured, razor-edged universe. Tighter and more stripped down than Trout Mask Replica but no less bewildering, these tracks snap, twist, and lurch with precision and purpose. We dig into the rhythms, the surreal lyricism, and the band’s almost telepathic interplay as Beefheart refines his controlled chaos into something lean, strange, and deeply addictive.

    Side B of Ersatz GB leans deeper into its strange, synthetic groove, at times mechanical, at times oddly playful, but never predictable. This is where the album’s quirks fully emerge, with textures that feel both rigid and unstable.

    We couldn't care less that Twilight (2008 film) snubbed a potential Fall song being included in their Oscar-winning soundtrack... flipping to Side B, the album opens up without letting go of its grip, stretching ideas further, twisting structures, and letting the grooves unravel just enough to keep things unpredictable. This is where Your Future Our Clutter reveals its full shape: part trance, part confrontation, all unmistakably Fall. We unpack the deeper cuts, the slow-burn payoffs, and the strange coherence holding it all together.

    SIDE B available on WATF Patreon.

    Happy Grammephone Friday, mate. For this month's convening of Random Record Club, we dive into Side A of A Trip to Marineville and immediately get pulled into Swell Maps’ brilliantly scrappy universe, where punk urgency collides with tape experiments, fractured pop instincts, and a sense that anything could fall apart at any moment. These tracks dart between bursts of chaos and strange, fleeting beauty, sketching out a blueprint for DIY weirdness that feels both reckless and strangely deliberate. We break down how Marineville turns limitations into a kind of freedom.

    We drop into a long and fun dissection of Side A of Your Future Our Clutter (2010), where The Fall double down on density, repetition, and sheer sonic force. This is a heavier, more hypnotic take on the late-era lineup, riffs grind, rhythms lock into stubborn loops, and Mark E. Smith cuts through with some of his most commanding performances.

    We're starting a new tradition on this 'Grammephone Friday'... the lads will be diving into a new series called Random Record Club: 'They are Appreciated!' (Season 2 of WATF), where they interrogate non-Fall albums that usually have some sort of Fall-connection. This first installment features the Country Teaser's first album 'Pastoral-- not Rustic' (1995). Frontman, Ben Wallers, is an avid Fall appreciator and his music across his various projects is well-worth the full interrogation. So let's get into SIDE A!
