***Much of How You Look When You’re Falling Down inspiration came from NATE KINSELLA's move from Illinois to NYC, which pushed him out of his Midwestern comfort zone in every imaginable way. He discovered an electrical charge in the sudden anonymity he found in his new home, especially after spending so much time in the Chicago music scene, where the Kinsella name is a big deal and he’s still better known for playing with his cousin Mike in AMERICAN FOOTBALLl and OWEN and his cousin Tim in JOAN OF ARC and MAKE BELIEVE. Kinsella began creating How You Look When You’re Falling Down by setting up a drum kit at a friend’s carpentry shop and improvising beats at randomly selected BPMs. Over the next two years, he and producer JASON CUPP (who also worked on Birthmark’s previous album Antibodies) fleshed out the record’s eight tracks with horn arrangements by members of the iconic New York Afrobeat group ANTIBALAS and TV ON THE RADIO's touring band, strings by the acclaimed contemporary classical MIVOS QUARTET, and harp by the up-and-coming BRANDEE YOUNGER.
