BBC Introducing Hereford & Worcester Featured Artist Falling into View has released their third single “Things (that I thought might one day be useful)” on October 24th, 2025. Written and composed by prolific songwriter Allan in just thirty minutes while packing boxes and preparing to move from the family home after many years, the track transforms the experience of clearing out sentimental items into a breakup song with a clever twist. The song explores how everyone has that drawer or cupboard shelf full of precious things gathered across the years, turning the discovery of these objects into a metaphor for the way we bank memories, using them to look back fondly over our journey or remind ourselves not to take certain pathways again. Recorded at Magic Garden Studios in the West Midlands and produced by multi-platinum and BMA award winner Gavin Monaghan, the track has already received BBC Introducing airplay and regularly stops people in their tracks at live shows, creating moments of stunned silence before applause when Lyss and Allan perform it in a stripped back way.
Following successful releases and reviews of their first two singles “What is it like to Lose?” and “On with the Show,” the band continues to blend the best of Country and Americana with an unashamed nod to Pop, delivering a sound that resonates across multiple genres. Singer Alyssa previously made waves as a BBC Introducing featured artist, while Allan carries the torch as the band’s most seasoned musician, having played alongside drummer Gordon in previous band The Idle Quiet. After that chapter closed, Gordon suggested Alyssa take the microphone for a new project, bringing ex work colleague and long-term friend Rob on board to play bass with lead guitarist Bernie, a former bandmate of Rob, joining soon after to complete a lineup that came together as if it were meant to be.
Just six months into their story as a band, Falling into View has received radio airplay across multiple stations and earned reviews praising Alyssa’s vocals as the kind that stop you mid-conversation, with critics noting the band arrived fully formed and crafted a sound that feels far bigger than their roots. With a rich mix of influences, undeniable chemistry and an ability to not take itself too seriously, the group continues making its mark one song at a time.
