Overview
- The Fall have shared "30 Degrees," the lead single from Post Script, an unfinished album the band was working on before Mark E. Smith died in 2018.
- Former member and manager Ed Blaney and ex-bandmate Simon Archer are credited with producing and co-writing the material, and Blaney says the record contains nine tracks.
- No full release details or an official release date have been announced, and the assembled album is being issued without publicly confirmed sign-off from Smith's estate.
- Early responses describe "30 Degrees" as a larger, more synth-forward Fall sound with roaring guitars and deep bass, prompting questions about whether the mix matches Smith's likely intent.
- The release comes against a backdrop of lineup splits and the 2023 House Of All project by five former members that upset Smith's family, so fans and the estate are likely to scrutinize credits, rights and how the band’s legacy is handled next.
