Last In The Fall?
5 Sep 2011
"Music stole my heart, you made me tear my whole world apart, This my love is a break-up letter ... Music, this is goodbye," sings Jeremy on track 9; Music Stole My Heart. Seems like that heady music love affair is over for The Dirty Skirts. Hinted as being their last album, "Lost In The Fall" is an ellipsis on the possible end of the band's career. The 12 tracks reflect this; an apocalyptic sentiment prevails throughout; forecasting an ultimate and final destiny for the band and on a much larger, vaguer scale, the world.
Waxing apocalyptic
Showcasing pessimistic and foreboding lyrics, and a much harder darker screechy-emo sound, the third album from the Skirts is quite a surprising departure from the happy-go-lucky vibe of party songs like Daddy Don't Disco and Homewrecker. It's an album drenched in paranoid sweat and fear that still retains an intense gloomy seduction and might just be the best work from the Skirts to date.
Forget viewing this album as break-up Dear John letter; at the risk of sounding a little melodramatic it's much more serious than that. "Lost In The Fall" is a suicide note if anything [dot dot dot]
