Phantom Family Halo has shared stages and/or toured with Slint, The For Carnation, Acid Mothers Temple, Guru Guru, Hawkwind. Black Angels, Black Mountain, Bonnie “Prince” Billy, Roky Erickson, Marissa Nadler and more. When I Fall Out is the first of the releases and will be issued on February 14, 2012. Inspired by concept albums of the past, such as Pretty Things’ SF Sorrow and Wire’s 154, the songs were all written following the death of one of Cipolla’s close friends. It took Cipolla a year to write the songs that became When I Fall Out and ready himself for the move to Brooklyn, NY, leaving the “darkness” behind.

Writing and recording the album was cathartic to Cipolla. Some of the tracks are literal – “Dirty Blade” is hypnotic and dreamlike, while “White Hot Gun” is raw and urgent – a sliding fuzz bass note anchors the track while Cipolla intones, “you’ve got nothing to fear … loaded gun” as the song builds to a screaming climax. The album is alternately resigned, angry, and hopeful – the tracks are about someone gets lost deep within the dark side of life and the friends they leave behind. It’s a powerful record that pulls you inside and immerses you in its mood and sound.
