HOUSE OF ALL is a Fall Family Continuum. Last Summer, five key members of The Fall got back together to record an album: Martin Bramah, Steve Hanley, Paul Hanley, Simon Wolstencroft and Pete Greenway. This project has been dubbed: HOUSE OF ALL. Recorded over three days during the Solstice, the session was a great success and the resulting self-titled debut album will be coming out in May 2023. Martin Bramah, The Fall's singer until Mark E Smith's lesser guitar skills caused them to swap places, was possibly the last true equal to Smith in the group and likewise the longest survivor of the original line-up. Yet while The Fall was later famous for their legendary productivity, Bramah often went great spans of time between releases, releasing fewer albums in thirty-five years (under any guise) than he has in the last seven with Blue Orchids - who already have a fantastic new album in the can. Bramah has joined forces with four other mighty Fall alumni: Steve Hanley, The Fall's longest-serving bassist, as well as his brother Paul Hanley, who drummed on what may be the best run of Fall records, from "Grotesque" to "Bend Sinister". The three have also played together as Factory Star, for a brief period. Joining them are two surprise members - drummer Simon Wolstencroft, who joined the Fall around the time Paul left, and more surprisingly, guitarist Pete Greenway, The Fall's long-serving and final guitarist who has, to our knowledge, never played with the other four before.
And the album? Recorded in a burst of intense creativity, we won't tempt to propagandise you, the album speaks or itself, but it wouldn't be a false boast to say that it stands with much of the best Fall or Blue Orchids music, displaying an energy and psychic impulse all its own, each member playing as sharply and with as much drive as ever, around manic motorik grooves and a shocking lack of 'compromise'.
