Sydney-based folk duo The Falls are Simon and Melinda. They met a few years ago at Hotel Hollywood in Surry Hills, they fell in love, they wrote songs, they fought, they made up, they broke up, they wrote songs. Almost subconsciously, they documented their whole relationship in their songs: the love, the betrayal, the heartbreak…

On their little tascam 4-track portastudio, they captured the fragility of their hearts, creating warm heartfelt songs that would later lead to the Hollywood EP. Recorded in late 2011 and produced by Tony Buchen (Old Man River, Andy Bull, WIM, Washington), The Falls’ debut EP is a well-rounded collection of tunes, equally influenced by Neil Young, Simon & Garfunkel and Fleetwood Mac.
