Fell

The driving force behind Fell is singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist Josh Wambecke, previously a member of the duo Phineas Gage. Wambecke assembled a collection of four-track demo recordings that relied on electronics and drum machines, elements deemed incompatible with Phineas Gage, which prompted the creation of the new project. The self-titled Fell debut from 2006 sought to fuse the atmospheric qualities of those demos with the guitars and vocals more typical of Phineas Gage, supported by bass and slide guitarist Mike Dewey plus drummer Josh Cedillo. The album projects a strongly psychedelic character, echoing the restrained blend of acid folk, acid rock, and electronics first developed by acts such as Pink Floyd.
