I Only Remember Falling

Released

For their surprise-release first album in seven years, The Luna Sequence showed that Kaia Young’s interest in the possibilities of instrumental industrial-metal-goth hybrids had not only remained key but was at its best absolutely compelling art, the more so in a world that could seem grimier by the day. Beginning with the careening build of “The Opposite Shore,” emphasizing an emotional feeling of reaching a state of grace amid the chaos, 2023’s I Only Remember Falling sets a high bar, with “From Many Fires” and “Resonance” also standing out.
