Falling, the second single from Kallai’s forthcoming album We Are Forever, drifts between dreampop and indie rock, drawing subtle echoes of Interpol, Slowdive, and Low, while throwing in a delicate touch reminiscent of Erik Satie. Citing these influences and continuing to shape their own sound, Kallai define their own voice within the current shoegaze scene, emerging as one of its most distinctive and promising fresh acts.
Instead of leaning on dense walls of sound, Falling unfolds as a gentle, emotional piece. The track breathes with ebb and flow, balancing fragility and intensity in equal measure.
Overarchingly, Falling is a meditation on love being aching, obsessive, and beautiful. It is a sense conveyed through intimate harmonies and the band's overall skillful musicianship which often feels tender and persistently unshakable.
