Watch Isador 'Falling' Through a Forest in New Music Video: Premiere
Isador
When
Warren Heller was growing up, he felt pressured to follow a life
trajectory that was predetermined for him. And under the moniker Isador,
the alt-rock musician composed a dark riff on that time in his life
with his new track, “Falling.”
The
sonic layers are tightly packed together to make a catchy yet haunting
song. Heller’s vocals are encased among a flurry of aural elements
ranging from a clapping beat to a whooshing filter. “Falling” induces
the feeling of claustrophobia in the way that all of the elements
converge in such a tight space.
“'Falling' is about an overwhelming sense of powerlessness and fear for the future,” Heller tells Billboard. “I wrote it after I dropped out of college, when I felt totally hopeless and isolated with no escape in sight.”
He
builds the tension of the song by amassing a wall of sound -- and that
sensibility is emphasized by lyrics like, “Dreams falling / grave’s
calling / we’re running out of time / tick-tock, I’m stalling.”
