The Pull Of Autumn
Funhouse
Featuring Luke ‘Skyscraper’ James
 
The impressive and beautifully produced 15-track album is out and the collective of art rock creators have another glimpse for us. Enticing fans into their world with a sample of the whole, Funhouse is fast becoming a soundtrack for our crazy times. Like a stressful adventure playground, life throws all kinds of turmoil and obstacles towards us and we just have to keep smiling. Leaning on a variety of local talent, The Pull Of Autumn involve key figures on the live and studio scene to produce the best sound possible. With Luke James of I.R.S. recording artist Fashion featuring on this track and with a place on each of the previous 3 albums, Funhouse is more than suitable to introduce people to this fascinating music act.
 
A dual of acoustic guitar and synth open in a stereo of sound. Haunting and distraught sounding vocals span out through the open corridor. Strange synthesiser curls and creeps in shadowy placements as the song takes us on its disturbing journey. Odd chord changes and dreary minor keys drape the skeletal framework of guitar as the song journeys onward. Folk and psychedelia break the boundaries in novel directions as we are drawn into the mysterious and enchanting Funhouse.

Cross-breeding art with music via an evolving mix of musicians from near and far, The Pull Of Autumn return with their fourth record. A real hard-working group of players, their musical debut made its way to us only in 2018. The next two came a year after each other in a back-to-back run of energy and output. This time it's been a slightly longer wait but it has genuinely been worth it as the band have exceeded themselves once again. Taking influence from bands such as Cabaret Voltaire and A Certain Ratio, adopting the talents of The Pop Group's Mark Stewart along with the mixing skills of the iconic Adrian Sherwood, this latest album has expanded the horizon in every direction for this fast-rising act. Here's the single.


Streams of deep synth rise in expressive rumblings as the drums enter with sinking energy. Heady tones begin to churn and glisten in the upper spaces as a wandering funk bass thrills the undercarriage with vibrancy. A saxophone bursts through the pattern, adding organic sensibility to the base of repeating rhythms. Keyboards then rise to take a lead for a moment before the band makes way for avant-garde yet absolutely modern lyrics. Highlighting the problems still to solve in the world, many originating from the top and the bottom consecutively, a short burst of intention culminates in the poignant thoughts left lingering once the sounds have stopped.
