Falling Up unleashed it's debut cd, Crashings, in February of this year on BEC Recordings. Though their sound incorporates rock, pop, punk, and metal styles it doesn't come across as thrown together. In fact, they have a very tight sound with solid, well-created arrangements. Rather than sounding like a rock band that just wants to play loud, the intensity of this collection comes from the band's passion for God. This makes way for the refreshing rise and fall of energy within each song. I found myself captivated throughout the entire cd. In fact, I was compelled to listen to it several times in a row which almost never happens for me.
The lyrics on this debut project are deeply worshipful and surprisingly poetic. The simple chorus of Falling in Love demonstrates the heart of this group:
All of my dreams and my passions are in your hands
Playing my heart so many times
There's always a weak hand holding mine
Saying the way that I have said "This is the way"
Every scene is still the same
Just with a different faceless name
Falling and breaking, cleaning I am holding on
So this is where my heart is, longs to be
Hurting you, needing you
This is where I always want to be
Suffering
I'm completely impressed with this debut effort. Contrary to their recent beginnings, Falling Up's lyrics show an incredible depth of faith while their music shows a well-seasoned polish. Rating: 5/5
