Berkeley Place - 2 March, 2010 (Eleven. Return And Revert)

"Edinburgh, Scotland’s Midas Fall are a band that seems to have two speeds: Progressive pop and shoegaze ballad. And they’re quite good at both. It’s hard to find much information about them, though. Even the press material doesn’t offer a whole lot of info. I can tell you that vocalist Elizabeth Heaton is the main reason to listen here–she’s got a terrific voice–and whichever of the three guitarists plays the bubbling leads is a strong second."

"The melancholy building of the songs on the debut album from Scottish alternative art-rockers Midas Fall are like a combination of British catalysts Hope for the States and the female-fronted rockers Flyleaf. The ten songs average over five minutes a piece and take a little patience to get through, but once you do, it is well worth it.

On “My Radio Star,” lead singer Elizabeth Heaton sounds like a perfect combination of Doloris O’Riordian of The Cranberries and new age vocalist Loreena McKennitt. Her accent peaks through periodically, giving the slow, brooding electric guitars and almost tribal beat a truly unique sound. She even get a little Shakira vibrato on “Fog Sky Nun.”

This is a stunningly melodic debut from, of all places, Edinburgh, Scotland."
