Melancholy arrives in many degrees, but sometimes it's that mid-range blue brimming with hope that hits the hardest. Loquat strikes the perfect balance between bubbly pop and moody measures on fall as Kylee Swenson's sugary vocals dance atop a swirl of keys, subtle guitar strums and steady beats, creating serene moments mounted in memory and anticipation. Past lives ("Swingset Chain"), feline companions ("Friend Without Thumbs") and wandering thoughts ("Internal Crash") are the subjects of fall, closing in resounding fashion with a deep house remix of "Swingset Chain" by Atomix and Spindly, perfect for late night roller-skating through the city.

FALL was named one of the "The Best Records of 2002" by the East Bay Express.

"FALL exudes a romantic, autumnal feel.... their strengths lie in sailing melancholic lyrics over floating waves of melodic guitars and sweeping synth lines while a dynamic rhythm section provides a warm and glowing groove."
East Bay Express

"Loquat's orchestration is tasteful and restrained, yet lush in an intimate, crepuscular way. Vocalist Swenson's breathy mezzo-soprano is key... serving as an effectively restrained complement to the band's dreamy instrumentation [and] their occasional inclusion of gentle electronic accents and effects, giving their slow-motion pop melancholia a bit of a shoegazing 'trip-pop' flavor."
