As well as founding member and frontman Mark E Smith, the current Fall line up includes Peter Greenway (guitar), Keiron Melling (drums), Elena Poulou (keyboards), and David Spurr (bass). Compared to most incarnations of the band, they’ve done well: it’s the fourth record they’ve made since 2008’s Imperial Wax Solvent. It’s the group’s THIRTIETH studio album in total. It will be their first since 2011’s ‘Ersatz GB’, which divided fans and some critics.
