We Will Fall (RSDBF25)

Description

In a daring, hypnotic tribute to Detroits primal avant-rock roots, drummer Larry Mullins (aka Toby Dammit) and legendary bassist Mike Watt stretch The Stooges haunting mantra We Will Fall into a sprawling near 40-minute ritual of repetition, restraint, and raw atmosphere. Mullins and Watt channel the eerie pulse and narcotic drone of the original 1969 track, pushing its trance-inducing core into uncharted territory. Mullinsknown for his work with Iggy Pop, Swans, and Nick Cavebuilds a minimalist landscape with his shruti box, Moog electronics, tabla, and gongs, while Watts signature low-end thrum mutates from subtle heartbeat to full-body hallucination. What emerges is not a cover but an extended invocationpart sance, part dirge, part free-form exploration of mood and mind. Its a slow burn of sonic devotion, honoring the spirit of The Stooges while opening the door to something entirely new: a deep-listening descent into the sacred, the strange, and the sublime. This meditative and menacing piece is split into two full sides for a 12 vinyl pressing, available exclusively for RSD Black Friday 2025.
