Larry Mullins + Mike Watt -- We Will Fall 12" vinyl

In a daring, hypnotic tribute to Detroit’s primal avant-rock roots, drummer Larry Mullins (aka Toby Dammit) and legendary bassist Mike Watt stretch The Stooges’ haunting mantra “We Will Fall” into a sprawling near 40-minute ritual of repetition, restraint, and raw atmosphere. Mullins and Watt channel the eerie pulse and narcotic drone of the original 1969 track, pushing its trance-inducing core into uncharted territory. Mullins—known for his work with Iggy Pop, Swans, and Nick Cave—builds a minimalist landscape with his shruti box, Moog electronics, tabla, and gongs, while Watt’s signature low-end thrum mutates from subtle heartbeat to full-body hallucination. What emerges is not a cover but an extended invocation—part séance, part dirge, part free-form exploration of mood and mind. It’s a slow burn of sonic devotion, honoring the spirit of The Stooges while opening the door to something entirely new: a deep-listening descent into the sacred, the strange, and the sublime. This meditative and menacing piece is split into two full sides for a 12” vinyl pressing, available exclusively for Record Store Day Black Friday 2025.
