Falling Up
Encyclopedia
Falling Up is an American independent experimental rock
band from Albany
, Oregon
. Falling Up formed in October 2001, and went mainstream in 2004 with their debut album Crashings
. They were signed to BEC Recordings
until 2010 when they went independent. The band's name is derived from the first song they wrote, which refers to how imperfect people are, but how sufficient the grace of God
is to compensate for it. In harmony with their name, their lyrics are heavily grace
-themed.
Falling Up has gone through several transformations in terms of musical style. With their debut, "Crashings", the band introduced a nu metal
-influenced style with raprock elements they called "core-rock". Later on, Falling Up experimented with Electronic music
and Alternative rock
. Currently, they describe their style as Experimental rock
, Ambient pop and Indie rock
.
. Produced by Aaron Sprinkle
(Kutless
, Anberlin
, Hawk Nelson
, Capital Lights
). Crashings sold 3,396 units in its first week, which exceeded first-week sales by any other album in the history of BEC Recordings—incidentally, that record had been previously held by Kutless, who are friends of Falling Up from childhood. Crashings sold over 50,000 units by the end of 2004. Three songs from Crashings—"Broken Heart", "Escalates", and "Bittersweet"—all reached #1 on the Christian rock charts at R&R.
Their second album, Dawn Escapes
, was released on October 25, 2005 through BEC Recordings. Produced by Michael "Elvis" Baskette (Chevelle
, Cold
), the album, though more melodic and hard rock
-driven as a whole, did not majorly deviate from the sound of Crashings. Dawn Escapes pushed Falling Up's lifetime record sales to over 150,000 by the summer of 2006; guitarist Tom Cox left the band shortly before the album's release.
On September 12, 2006, Falling Up released Exit Lights
, an album featuring remixes of the band's biggest hits and the new song "Islander". Solomon Olds of Family Force 5
, Thousand Foot Krutch
's Trevor McNevan
, and Randy Torres
of Project 86
fame were among the artists who worked with Falling Up for the project. Guitarist Joseph Kisselburgh left the band in May 2006 to focus on his solo project, The Send
, which released its debut album on Tooth & Nail Records
in July 2007.
On the band's Myspace page, they announced the release date for their project, which was code-named "Abandoners." Later on, they announced the release name Captiva. The album was released on October 2, 2007. The first single from this album is "Hotel Aquarium", which can be heard on the band's PureVolume
and Myspace
page, or purchased on iTunes
. The band later also posted their second single "Goodnight Gravity" on PureVolume
, followed by "How They Made Cameras," "Maps," and "A Guide to Marine Life." They subsequently finished filming a music video for "Hotel Aquarium," which was featured in X 2008. After the release of Captiva, Guitarist Micah Sannan departed Falling Up and joined the Christian hard rock
band "Disciple
." The keyboardist Adam Taylor also departed in 2007, who then started managing the merchandise for in order to handle the merchandise for Christian rock band Hawk Nelson
.
Falling Up's fifth studio album, entitled "Fangs
", was released March 24, 2009. According to their MySpace page, "Fangs
" was to be their "heaviest album yet", something which was often disputed in the post-release period. It was also said that the album would be "more of an arrangement than just a record that is put together randomly," as well as that that it "[would] not have 14 great songs in entirety, but just intriguing moments and sections". One of the song titles, "Lotus and Languorous" was released early. According to a BEC Recordings
representative, a tour was supposed to coincide with the release.
In a blog entry, Falling Up's Jessy Ribordy announced that the band had completed the album entitled "Fangs
" and that it would be about a "very, very, very fictional tale", including "a tiny bit of violence and some dramatic dialog". Jessy hired guitarists, keyboard players, and singers for the tour, and introduced them shortly.
According to BEC Recordings
and Falling Up's myspace, Falling Up headlined the Fangs! tour in late April early May 2009 with Tooth and Nail artist Ruth
and Portland indie/rock artist Archeology. Unlike past tours, the venues were strictly secular clubs.
After the release of Fangs!, band members Jessy Ribordy and Josh Shroy started a side project under the name The River Empires, who created an album titled "Epilogue" with the help of The Dear Hunter
's Casey Crescenzo
, as well as a handful of other musicians. Jessy Ribordy also began working on a solo project titled The Gloomcatcher, with its first album being titled "Slow Chorale". The debut albums from both projects were released on April 6, 2010.
It was announced on January 20, 2010 by lead vocalist Jessy Ribordy that Falling Up was "taking a permanent break," and their final show was at the Parachute Music Festival
on January 29.
On October 22, 2010, the band updated their MySpace page with information that new music is "in the works." The website FallingUpLives.com was then launched. Jessy explained on the website that the reason for the breakup was due to the band members wanted to explore other musical endeavors and the fact the BEC did not support the band's ideas for future releases. Jessy also said that some months after the breakup; the band members did not feel comfortable about ending Falling Up so abruptly, so they decided to return making music independently. The band has not stated what their plans are following the release of their new record, saying on their website, "all we know is that we are going to be putting out another album and we will just see where it goes from there."
On January 21, 2011, Falling Up's fundraiser for their new album had finished, and they received $13,665 which was above their goal of $10,000. The new record began recording on February 9, 2011, and Falling Up's singer Jessy Ribordy said that the album will be released in June 2011. On March 18, 2011, the official website was updated with a logo displaying "Your Sparkling Death Cometh
", coming June 2011. Shortly after, the band confirmed on their Facebook page that this is the title for the upcoming album. One of the KickStarter rewards for funding Your Sparkling Death Cometh was an exclusive download of two of Falling Up's demo songs. The songs that were released were titled "Phantasm" and "Monster Blood", both of which were tracks cut from their "Captiva" album.
On May 25, 2011, Falling Up released their first single from their upcoming album, titled "Blue Ghost" on their ReverbNation page. On June 1, 2011, Falling Up released their second single from their upcoming album, titled "Diamnds" also on their ReverbNation page. The two singles were generally well-received, with "Diamnds" being in the Top 20 most requested songs on ChristianRock.net during its first week. Although not officially released until June 28, Your Sparkling Death Cometh was reporting as arriving to those who had pre-ordered the album as early as June 23. WhenYour Sparkling Death Cometh was released on June 28, 2011, the album generally received very favorable reviews from critics. It was cited as being exceptionally creative, with a strong focus on originality and composure. Jesus Freak Hideout
gave the album five out of five possible stars, as did New Release Tuesday. CM Addict gave it a slightly lower score of 8.5/10, citing that a couple of tracks "are just so-so."
The same day as Your Sparkling Death Comeths release, Falling Up updated their website to fit with the theme of the album. A player was also added, allowing each track from Your Sparkling Death Cometh to be played in its entirety. Prior to the album's release, it was stated several times by the band members that this would likely be Falling Up's last project, but that it may be dependent on the reception of what was to be Your Sparkling Death Cometh. With the album's release, they added a biography section to their website which implied that they are hoping to continue Falling Up, even 10 years after its inception.
