Larusta & The Dead Dogs have returned with another stunning offering: a new single, "King of Your Fall." It hits hard with emotion and intensity in both words and sounds. Taking inspiration from PJ Harvey's early discography, "King of Your Fall" is a confident declaration of self-empowerment that wears its menacing sound and instrumentation with pride
"King of Your Fall" bites down on you, pulling them into Larusta's plan of consideration and rebellion. A source of raw, cathartic energy, "King of Your Fall" reflects the tumultuous nature of finding closure while paralleling the artist's experience of ebb and flow. The result is a song that feels personal and universally relatable, a sonic experience that stays with you even after the last chord dissipates.
The instrumentation is positively entrancing. Simmering, brooding guitars wade through deliciously atmospheric arrangements that become a bedraggled backdrop to Larusta's visceral vocals. "King of Your Fall" ever-evolving dynamics maintain your enrapture as it seamlessly swings from anguished moments of intensity to cathartic relief. Every note and lyric has articulation, ensuring "King of Your Fall" is felt.
Lyrically, it's a statement of independence and strength. Larusta's words are both a reckoning and rallying cry, one for those forces that would work to take away someone's power. With lyrics that slice through the cacophony like a sword, "King of Your Fall" speaks to anyone who has ever had to fight to return to feeling like themselves after a struggle.
"King of Your Fall" is taking your power back," Larusta explains. "It's about standing tall in the face of people who tried to take you down a notch or two and seeing that their downfall has nothing to do with you."
