Jeremy Koering of Music Faith: You’ve got a new remix album coming out in just a few days; could you tell our readers what they should expect?
Jessy Ribordy of Falling Up: Yeah September 12th is our remix record Exit Lights. We just basically took a bunch of our songs off of our first record and our second record just too kind of make a new thing and show our fans and show people we can expand on musical ideas, and so there are some real techno stuff in there, and then there are some dance things, and more rock, electronic stuff, so it’s just got a lot of different vibes on it. We just kind of experimented, and there’s also one brand new song. It’s the first track, so it’s all together a diverse record for us and just a fun little thing, we just hope people can understand that we just wanted to mess around.
Jeremy Koering: Are you working on a new album?
Jessy Ribordy: Yes, we are currently taking a break from a lot of touring just to write, we are doing a record, in December/January, with producer Aaron Sprinkle. So that’ll be our next project.
Jeremy Koering: What bands are you currently listening to, that may influence your next record?
Jessy Ribordy: Let’s see there are a lot of bands, we’ve been listening to a band called The Exit, Thrice, and their new record, The Receiving of Sirens is a big record I’ve been listening too, a lot of The Police. All together a lot of things, I really like Reggae, I love that kind of feel, I’m not saying the new record will be Reggae, but it’ll definitely have a feel to it that’ll kind of be influence by that.
Jeremy Koering: If you could have someone listen to one song from any of your albums, what song would it be and why?
Jessy Ribordy: I’d say the number one song from any of our records I’d love someone to listen too would probably be… probably Contact, it’s just all together kind of different song for us, and I really like the vibe of it.
Jeremy Koering: One song I really like is Arafax Deep from Crashings, can you tell us a little about how you wrote that? And what it’s about?
Jessy Ribordy: Yeah that song was just kind of about tragedy. I had experienced a lot of tragedy going up ‘til the time that I wrote the song, just finding the good things in the lessons you learn in being broken. Is the most important thing in that song, learning from mistakes and learning from bad things and not always being depressed and sad, because something bad happening and learn the lesson. And it was kind of the last song we wrote before we recorded; it was almost written in the studio.
Jeremy Koering: Thanks for answering our questions! Do you have any websites; shout outs, anything you’d like our viewers to know about?
Jessy Ribordy: Yeah we got www.fallinguponline.com, which is going to be tracking with journals about the new record, www.myspace.com/fallingup and www.purevolume.com/fallingup. All of those except for Pure Volume will have blog about our new album and tons of e-cards and that kind of cool stuff.
