Abandon The Fall Ignites With New Single “Matches”

Abandon the Fall, the Houston-based musical project spearheaded by Juan Espinoza, has recently unveiled their latest single, “Matches,” in collaboration with Milwaukee’s female-fronted alternative rock act, Dreamhouse. This dynamic duo sees the fusion of Abandon the Fall’s refined approach to alternative rock and pop elements with Dreamhouse’s inviting and smooth-soaring vocals.

The lyrical concept behind “Matches” likens the human heart to matchboxes, where each match symbolizes various personal or relational struggles. The poignant lyrics convey the delicate nature of handling these metaphorical matches, emphasizing that mishandling any one of them has the potential to set hearts ablaze.

Released in early 2024, “Matches” not only showcases the musical prowess of both Abandon the Fall and Dreamhouse but also highlights the power of collaborative efforts in the realm of alternative rock. With Juan Espinoza’s commitment to transparency and vulnerability, coupled with Dreamhouse’s energetic delivery, the song offers listeners a relatable perspective on the intricate balance between empowerment and weakness within the human experience. This single marks another chapter in Espinoza’s journey, further carving out the band’s place in the alternative music scene.
