Post Script: A new, posthumous The Fall album to be released eight years after Mark E. Smith’s death
Eight years after Mark E. Smith’s passing in 2018, a previously unreleased album by The Fall, titled "Post Script," is slated for release.
The Fall ‘s Mark E Smith died in 2018 , and now, eight years later, it’s come to light that there was one last album in the works and it’s finally coming out. It’s titled Post Script , as revealed by Ed Blaney who played in The Fall in the early-’00s and also spent time as their manager.
“Have spent most the afternoon today listening to the final mixes of the official final studio album by The Fall, without any doubt I can say it’s an absolute brilliant album,” Ed wrote on Facebook. “A Fall fans dream and some … & for all the eager Fall fans awaiting the news, its release date and order details are imminent. The album is called ‘Post Script’ with 9 absolute bangers.”
The Fall were a famously prolific band — the last album they made before Smith died was 2017’s New Facts Emerge , which was their 31st studio album. Nine years is the biggest gap between Fall albums by a mile.
