    Falling You – Metanoia (2025) Review: In the same way that the legendary label, 4AD had their in-house collective, This Mortal Coil, a revolving door of music makers generally associated with it, so John Michael Zorko gathers around him many of the great and good who orbit the Projekt Records sun to weave together the sonic beauty of that defines his Falling You project. And it is not just the form that draws comparison to that earliest of British independent labels, the music found on Metanoia, the latest album, could easily have been one of the 4AD stable, back in the day. Metanoia means to change, but more specifically, a transformation forged from adversity, an idea first found in the writing of ancient Greece, and specifically in Ovid’s Metamorphoses, which this album takes as a guide and reference point. “Throw The Stone” opens things up, perhaps more traditionally song-like than some of what will follow, but still shot through with enough ethereality and floating vibes to make it a gentle first step into a world where structure and solidity are often subsumed by dream and drift. Take “Demiurge (Momento Eorum)” for example, a song whose voice-as-instrument vocals, Latin chant, and emotive soundscapes feel like a collaboration between Karl Jenkins in his Adiemus phase and Pink Floyd’s The Division Bell. “Alcyone” is both vocally elegant and musically elegant, a blend of heaven-sent harmonies and mercurial melody. “They Give Me Flowers” pushes into a sort of hallucinogenic blues, part real-world twang, part otherworldly lucid dreaming, and “Constellations” is as spacious and drifting, beautiful and awesome as the title suggests. Metanoia is an astonishing record, one that never ceases to surprise you, constantly evolving and shifting between the sonically translucent and the almost groove-driven, the half-heard and heavenly to the more robust and worldly. — bigtakeover.com     Track List: 01 - Throw the Stone 02 - Demiurge (Momento Eorum) 03 - Flesh to Tree 04 - Alcyone 05 - Ari's Song 06 - Inside the Whale 07 - Ariadne 08 - They Give Me Flowers 09 - (trying to weave) A Thread of Happiness (from one day to the next) 10 - Constellations 11 - Philomena Media Report: Genre: ambient, dream-pop Origin: San Francisco, California, USA Format: FLAC Format/Info: Free Lossless Audio Codec Bit rate mode: Variable Channel(s): 2 channels Sampling rate: 44.1 KHz Bit depth: 16 bits Compression mode: Lossless Writing library: libFLAC 1.3.0 (UTC 2013-05-26) Note: If you like the music, support the artist.
