Fell

Fell, the British group led by Nicolas Burrows and joined by Jon Rulton, Matt de Kersaint Giraudeau, and Dav Shiel, crafts a singular sound blending jangly guitar-pop, pastoral folk, psychedelic freak-outs, and krautrock rhythms. Their music is marked by Burrows’ wry lyrics and evocative vocal style, lending a personal, homespun charm to their recordings. With woozy organs, tape-wobbled guitars, and an unpredictable palette that shifts from 60s psychedelia to Casio-drum machine electronica, Fell has garnered acclaim for their playful yet profound approach to songwriting, highlighted by attention from BBC 6 Music and a discography spanning both albums and experimental singles projects.

In July 2025, Fell released the kaleidoscopic album “Futility Rites”, a decade-spanning collection that draws connections between personal myth, shifting social landscapes, and lyrical storytelling. Earlier releases, such as “For The Pickling” EP and “There Still Are Mysteries”, showcase collaborations with artists like David Thomas Broughton and production from Andy Ramsay of Stereolab. The band’s releases on Lost Map Records have cemented their place within the UK’s avant-pop underground, and their versatility has been further demonstrated through projects like the “Sides” singles series and ambitious album packages combining music with lyric books and art prints.

Fell’s live presence continues to grow, with headline gigs scheduled across the United Kingdom in December 2026, including dates at London’s Downstairs at The Dome, Norwich’s Adrian Flux Waterfront Studio, Newcastle Upon Tyne’s The Grove, and Wolverhampton’s KKs Steel Mill. Whether through recorded work or the vivid energy of their concerts, Fell invites both new listeners and long-time fans to follow their creative journey—so be sure to connect, and keep an eye out for their latest gigs and live music experiences.
