Last Leaf Down is a Shoegaze band from Beinwil ( Switzerland ).
history
The band was founded in autumn 2003 by Daniel Dorn (bass) and Sascha Jeger (guitar) and played dark metal influenced by Katatonia and Anathema in their early years .
In 2007 Thomas Ryf (vocals, guitar) and Dominik Meier (drums) left the band and were replaced by Benjamin Schenk (vocals, guitar) and Patrick Hof (drums). The path already taken towards Post-Rock and Shoegaze was strengthened by the personnel changes.
The promo EP Escaping Lights was released in early 2011 . In 2012 and 2013 the band released several demo songs and videos, drawing the attention of new listeners to various internet blogs.
In August 2014, Last Leaf Down was signed by Lifeforce Records , where their debut album Fake Lights was released in November of the same year . The Italian metal hammer wrote that listening to the album was like a journey, a slow slide down to oblivion of the senses. The sound is described as Shoegaze-Rock with influences from New Wave and Ambient with a pompous, dreamy atmosphere.
