Brisbane's emerging alternative pop duo
Alta Falls are making their grand entrance with the release of the debut single "
Take Me On Down," an indie shout fueled by melodic hooks, soaring harmonies, and vintage synth drive.
"We recorded this song in 2020 when it felt like the world was pulling in multiple directions all at once, and the divide was getting bigger, wider, and deeper," said
Alta Falls. The song asks,
"How did we all get so sure about things, and get so stuck in our own heads that we can't even see things from someone else's perspective? What if there was a world where people saw things from the other side?"
Combining a wide range of influences,
Alta Falls takes glimpses of
The Preatures' rhythms,
Spacey Jane's guitars,
The Weeknd's synth lines, and
The Wombats' energy to put their take on modern indie. A slow build of instrumentation and shimmering vocals builds to a fiery chorus that has mastered the art of catchy.
After spending much of 2020's lockdown together,
Alta Falls' members took a deep dive exploring the social and global landscapes brought to light by the pandemic. The outfit have crafted a collection of tracks alongside producer
Aidan Hogg (
Jaguar Jonze,
Holy Holy), featuring
Sebastian Jennings Hingston (
Tia Gostelow) on drums, to make their mark on the subjects in the form of song.
With a catalogue of music ready to be released,
Alta Falls are preparing their entrance into the independent Australian
music scene, proving themselves a force of nature with addictive melodies, soaring harmonies, retro instrumentation, and skilful lyricism.
