Album Notes & Community Reviews

Initially serving as a solo project for Tristeza guitarist Jimmy LaValle, this debut release is a remarkably delicate, entirely instrumental recording. 'An Orchestrated Rise to Fall' heavily utilizes subtle field recordings, vintage Rhodes keyboards, and gentle acoustic guitars to craft profoundly warm, deeply atmospheric post-rock soundscapes.
