Dead Man Fall

Dead Man Fall manage to produce a very upbeat and catchy indie pop single by using a pop-induced chord sequence and a light, but lively chorus, which gets heads nodding.

‘Beating Heart’ starts with a very steady beat and low-key guitar tones, producing the initial chord sequence in which the rest of the song builds upon, giving it its pop dynamic.

The vocals come through in a static style, reminiscence of 90’s pop music, and this technique establishes the subtle indie atmosphere that is the foundation of the track.

The chorus does away with the static style of vocals and introduces the clear and strong voice of Des McCabe chanting the lyrics, “nothing’s gonna wear you down, no one’s gonna tear you down” giving the song an enlightened euphoric topical element.

Towards the end, an electronic synth introduces an 80’s pop vibe and McCabe ooh-ing subsequently adds to this feeling of nostalgia that the song completely captures.

‘Beating Heart’ is a single that collates a wistful and sentimental feeling connected to past generational pop and indie tracks, but with a modern twist and keeps listeners interested as well as dancing. - Ravechild.co.uk

Dead Man Fall Suwarrow IT is 9294 miles from Glasgow to the low coral atoll in the Pacific Ocean's Cook Islands that this song is named after. Of course I didn't know that. I had to look it up. And what Suwarrow was.

But after listening to the Glasgow band (something I did know), I really liked this summery, upbeat tune as the rain lashed and the wind howled in bonnie Scotland.

Just like the girl of the song who runs off and meets a stranger, I'd quite like some Suwarrow sunshine.

Still, we have this great new song from singer and bassist Des McCabe, guitarist Vincent Brownlow, guitarist Kevin McLaughlin and drummer Gareth McLeod.

Starting with the lapping of waves and some perky brass, it has the positivity of first album Stone Roses and a hands-in-the-air chorus, "Feel the golden sands, between her toes". Time for a ticket to Suwarrow. | Suwarrow is out now.

Glasgow’s Dead Man Fall latest single maybe about a girl running away to a beautiful island, but it’s a ferociously feel-good and utterly infectious offering that epitomises all that’s good about listening to this band. The track bounces along in a happy-go-lucky fashion courtesy of its sunshine melodies and spritely hooks, before launching some killer brass towards the end. - AlternativeTracks.com
