Featured Tune: "The Falling (432 Hz) from Autorub

Autorub’s latest single, The Falling (432Hz), is a masterful blend of nostalgic alt-rock energy and fresh sonic experimentation. From the moment the track kicks off, you’re pulled into a tight, guitar-driven rhythm that feels both familiar and innovative. The guitars radiate warmth, their crunchy distortion carrying a vintage edge that harks back to the early 2000s, evoking bands like Weezer and Green Day. Yet, there’s an undeniable uniqueness here, with modern synths and thoughtful production adding depth and character.

The decision to record in 432Hz tuning gives The Falling a subtle but noticeable charm. This frequency, tied to calming and healing properties, creates a listening experience that feels surprisingly satisfying—like the music is resonating not just in your ears but in your very core. This attention to detail elevates the song beyond just a catchy rock anthem; it becomes an immersive experience.

Michael Corn’s vocals are another highlight. His delivery is clean and controlled, contrasting beautifully with the track’s raw instrumentation. The vocals feel close and personal, like Corn is performing right in your living room. The addition of subtle effects, like a rotary-style modulation on the vocals, introduces just enough quirkiness to keep things fresh and engaging.

The bridge section deserves special mention—Autorub introduces a darker interlude that transitions seamlessly, giving the track a dynamic structure. The synth elements here are reminiscent of Gary Numan or Bowie’s experimental works, adding a retro-futuristic vibe to the mix.

What makes The Falling so captivating is its balance. It’s energetic yet introspective, nostalgic yet forward-thinking. Autorub has created a track that not only pays homage to rock’s past but also pushes it into exciting new territory. This is a song that rewards repeat listens, each one revealing another layer to its carefully crafted soundscape.
