A FEAR OF FALLING
Michael Shanahan returns in 2021 with the first REANIMATION release in nearly four years. A FEAR OF FALLING is the most powerful and purposeful result yet. Themes delve deep into loss, inner struggles, memories and regret, attempting to exorcise those demons. Shanahan delivers reflective, introspective lyrics with power and emotion, while heavy, dark hypnotic, cyclical arrangements dance and build beneath the surface.

UNDER THE LAST TREE ON EARTH
New 2022 remaster! The reflective, often dark and mesmerizing UNDER THE LAST TREE ON EARTH is being reissued on vinyl for the very first time! The 9-song album, first released on CDr in 2014, was beautifully remastered for vinyl by James Scott (Populist Recording), who mastered “A Fear of Falling” (2021) and will be TWO LPs (black vinyl) due to the original album length of 60 minutes. Also packaged in a full-color gatefold cover.
The album’s nine songs dig deep under the skin, taking the listener on a deep, emotional journey of self-exploration and discovery. Heavy and hypnotic, with expertly assembled textural grooves, the album is a purposeful and focused result. Still, it remains true to the trademark REANIMATION use of thickly layered sounds and circular song structures. The songs weave, dance and stomp through a revealing look inside a heart and mind that teeters on the brink of exhaustion but somehow clings to never-ending hope. |
Vinyl, CDr and digital albums available online at the Reanimation Bandcamp site.
