Jeoff Harris’ re-release of Cathartic Fall takes an already profound album and elevates it to new heights. Known for blending ambient soundscapes with deep emotional themes, Harris explores the complexities of grief, loss, and anxiety through a re-imagined lens. What sets this re-release apart is the inclusion of spoken word performances by prominent voices like Whitney Hanson, Allie Michelle, Trev Cimenski, and mental health advocate Matthias J Barker. Each collaboration enhances the emotional weight of the music, turning tracks like “Before The Fall” and “Breathe” into raw, transformative experiences.
Harris’ ability to fuse music with these poignant narratives gives the album a richer, more layered feel. The spoken word contributions don’t just complement the music—they amplify the message. Tracks such as “Sometimes Words Just Get In The Way” stand out as powerful expressions of vulnerability, while “Strong As Death” strikes a chord with its raw confrontation of mortality and resilience.
The poets’ first exposure to the final version of the album at its launch event speaks to the authenticity of this collaboration. It feels more like a collective catharsis than a traditional release, further blurring the lines between music, poetry, and mental health advocacy. Harris isn’t just pushing creative boundaries; he’s creating an immersive emotional experience that speaks directly to listeners’ hearts.
This re-release underscores Harris’ talent for not only making music but for crafting deeply intimate moments, turning each track into an introspective journey. It’s an album that encourages you to sit with your emotions, to process, and ultimately, to grow.
