New York’s Autorub, helmed by multi-instrumentalist Michael Corn, delivers a fierce new single, “The Falling (432 Hz).” Known for its post-grunge roots with bands like Sammy (Geffen) and Heydevils, Autorub brings a gritty, high-energy style to this song that’s both engaging and easy on the ears.
“The Falling (432 Hz)” opens with gritty and grungey, hard bouts of riffing guitars before the drum rolls and clashes headlong with all the splashes of cymbals splitting and splicing into the music. Right after, the guitars drive and buzz in an engaging pop-rock rhythm. Corn’s vocal delivery is warm and relaxed, creating a contrasting calm that invites the listener to absorb his lyrics fully. The result is a balance between raw, energetic instrumentation and a melodic vocal style that grounds the song’s intensity, making it both rebellious and surprisingly comforting.
“The Falling (432 Hz)” stands out not only for its sonic blend of pop-rock and punk influences but also for its playful nods to legends like Weezer, Green Day, and Foo Fighters, with added hints of synth reminiscent of early Bowie and Gary Numan. If you are wondering why this song is so swooning to your ears, this track was tuned at 432 Hz—a frequency historically tied to healing properties. This is also the second Autorub release set at this frequency.
To further fall into Autorub’s contagious gravity, stay tuned to their music.
