Fall's Final Fling: A Haunting Posthumous Single from Mark E. Smith

The Fall have released a mind-bending, psych-rock jam that defies time and mortality, '30 Degrees' is the first taste of their highly-anticipated final album, 'Post Script'.

This frenetic, four-minute track is laced with Smith's signature surrealism and acerbic lyrics, showcasing his genius even in the face of terminal illness. Ed Blaney's assertion that it's part of a 'nine absolute bangers' lineup makes sense – this song is an unmissable masterclass in psychedelic rock.

The fact that Mark E. Smith was still working on music when he passed away raises questions about legacy and artistic intent, but the Fall's refusal to be buried remains unchanged. In shortening their catalog, they've managed to distill their chaotic brilliance into a single, unforgettable track.
