Carnival of Rust

Poets of the Fall

A cinematic blend of noir-rock and theatrical alternative. Lush arrangements and deep baritone vocals evoke a rain-slicked city at midnight.

April 12, 2006 · Insomniac (2)

A sophisticated, theatrical melancholy that feels both intimate and grandly cinematic.

Moments Worth Listening For
The transition from the delicate acoustic intro to the heavy, sweeping chorus of the title track
The jagged, aggressive guitar riff that opens Locking Up the Sun, cutting through the album's gloom
The way the vocals drop to a near-whisper in the final bridge of Dawn, feeling intensely close-mic'd
