• FALLOCH: ‘Where The Distant Spirit Remains’

After playing together in their previous bands, Andy Marshall and Scott McLean formed FALLOCH in Glasgow, Scotland, in 2010, finding a common desire to create music which conveys atmosphere and emotion through a wide variety of styles including metal, post-rock and folk. Taking their musical cue from the likes of ALCEST, AGALLOCH and PRIMORDIAL, as well as minimalist composers such as Yann Tiersen and Arvo Pärt, FALLOCH's lyrics focus around the themes of nostalgia, sorrow, nature and longing. Having a deep connection with the Scottish landscape, the band took their name from the Falls of Falloch waterfall in Crianlarich.
