We Fall

Als Bassistin der BREEDERS ist sie eine Alternative Rock Ikone, und seit dem Comeback Album "All Nerve" wieder in aller Munde. Dass sie über all die Jahre auch regelmäßig Alben als Solokünstlerin veröffentlicht hat, ist weniger bekannt. "We Fall" erinnert ein bisschen an BRIAN ENOs "Another Green World", den Minimalismus von Harold Budd, sowie passagenweise an Alva Noto oder Ryuichi Sakamoto. Anders!

There's something both dreamy and scientific about We Fall. Wiggs, an enthusiastic amateur mycologist, has an impressive collection of mushrooms she’s photographed in her travels. We Fall could be the soundtrack to what can’t be captured in a single photo—the growth and decay of miraculous creatures that a less astute and sensitive eye might overlook entirely.
Composed, performed and recorded by Wiggs, with drums and electronics by her longtime friend and collaborator Jon Mattock (Spacemen 3, Spirit , We Fall is a lyrical, bucolic album with an undercurrent of disquiet. Think of a wintertime walk in the woods as dusk falls too soon. True to the classic album form, the 10 almost entirely instrumental tracks on We Fall form a compelling whole: a crystalline meditation on paths not taken and words unspoken, an elegy for moments lost and last embraces.
