Fallow Land
About
Fallow Land is a collaboration between founders Whitaker Fineberg and Evan Veasey. Since it's inception in 2015, Ann Arbor based Fallow Land has played shows in small towns and major cities including Detroit, Chicago, Cleveland, and Toronto.
Fallow Land seeks to blend odd-meter, polyrhythm, texture, and conventional song structure to create innovative yet accessible compositions.
Biography
When life strips away what we know and hold dear, we are left with a sense of emptiness. After a move to a new city, the death of a friend, the end of a band, and the close of a relationship, Whit Fineberg found himself standing on fallow land. He felt directionless, but also more inspired than he had been in years.
Fineberg began spending every free second recording song ideas in his Chicago apartment. Even though he lived in Chicago, he still felt deeply rooted in the Ann Arbor music scene where he grew up. He frequently returned home to play music with friends and visit family. On one of those visits, he crossed paths with Evan Veasey, a musician he had heard about, but never played with. Fineberg was impressed with Veasey's understanding of the guitar and ability to intuit his own musical inclinations.
Several months later, Fallow Land recorded their first single, joined by Armand Terrell and Caelin Amin, who also accompanied them on their first tour, playing shows in Chicago, Toronto, Detroit, and several other midwestern cities.
During this period, the band started arranging songs for their debut EP, Pinscher, and spending a lot of time trying to decide who would they would bring on for production.After evaluating each song, Fallow Land recorded Pinscher at High Bias Studios with the help of audio engineer Chris Koltay. The EP was mixed by Matt Bayles and mastered by Ed Brooks (Cursive, Death Cab for Cutie).
