Jeoff Harris, the creative mind behind the solo project Cathartic Fall, has returned to the scene with a re-release of his self-titled debut album, setting a new bar in his exploration of ambient soundscapes. Originally a more personal and self-contained work, Cathartic Fall, was known for its deeply emotional soundscapes that guided listeners through themes of grief, anxiety, and self-discovery. This re-release, however, broadens the album’s reach, incorporating collaborations with prominent voices in poetry and mental health. With this new dimension, Harris invites listeners on a profound journey that melds music and spoken word in a boundary-pushing exploration of emotional healing and resilience.
Central to this re-imagined album is Harris’ choice to collaborate with respected figures from the worlds of poetry and mental health. The album’s five tracks — “Before The Fall,” “Breathe,” “Just This,” “Sometimes Words Just Get In The Way,” and “Strong As Death” — each feature spoken word performances layered over Harris’ emotive compositions. Leading poets Whitney Hanson, Allie Michelle, and Trev Cimenski lend their voices to the record, delivering heartfelt and introspective pieces that amplify the album’s themes. Additionally, Matthias J Barker, known for his impactful mental health insights, contributes to the project, offering reflections that encourage listeners to confront and process their inner turmoil.
The impact of these collaborations extends beyond a purely auditory experience, as the re-release transforms, Cathartic Fall, into a narrative-driven work. Harris’ ambient soundscapes, rich with ethereal textures and emotional crescendos, provide the perfect backdrop for these spoken word pieces. Each track becomes a space where the listener can engage deeply with the themes of loss, vulnerability, and resilience. This re-release, steeped in artistic empathy, allows the album to serve not only as a piece of music but as a companion through personal introspection.
Harris, already an influential figure in music production with credits on Billboard-topping tracks and viral hits, has now positioned, Cathartic Fall, as a deeply personal expression beyond his commercial success. Known for hits like Madelline’s “I’m Only Here for the Beat” and Royal & The Serpent’s “Overwhelmed,” Harris has built his career behind the scenes. Yet, Cathartic Fall, reveals a different side, driven by a need for genuine self-expression and a desire to create work that resonates on a deeply emotional level.
With this re-release, Jeoff Harris has pushed the boundaries of what a music album can achieve, creating a cohesive blend of ambient sound, poetry, and mental health advocacy. For listeners, Cathartic Fall, offers more than an auditory experience; it promises an intimate, transformative journey that delves into the complexities of human emotion and healing. This re-release stands as a testament to Harris’ ability to innovate and connect, leaving fans and new listeners alike with an album that will linger long after the final note fades.
