The Agency's latest song, "We Fell to the Floor," has a strong sense of atmosphere and emotional weight. It feels both personal and like a movie. The band is known for their folk noir storytelling, but this time they delve deeper into post-rock and gothic-rock to craft a song that unfolds like a slow-burning scene from a midnight movie.
"We Fell to the Floor" has a moody elegance from the start, balancing restraint with intensity. The Agency has always done well in the spaces between genres, and this song deepens that identity by combining dark stories with big, swelling music. The result is immersive and thrilling, pulling the listener into its dark, reflective heart.
A standout part is the guest vocals from another North East band. The Samphires add another emotional layer and strengthen the collaborative spirit of the regional scene. Their voices blend with The Agency...'s dark soundscape, adding to the song's sense of drama and shared storytelling.
The single comes out on March 7, but the video announces The Agency...'s upcoming show at the Star & Shadow Cinema in Newcastle on March 8. The event, which will feature Richard Dawson and Martin McAloon from Prefab Sprout, promises to be a celebration of adventurous songwriting and the musical history of the North East.
"We Fell to the Floor" is a powerful reminder that The Agency can evolve while staying true to its story-driven core. It's a song that makes you want to listen to it over and over again because it's so subtle, moving, and quietly strong.
