Headmaster reframes Autumn on new EP ‘Fall Back’

‘Fall Back’ revisits three songs from Headmaster’s ‘Seasons Vol.2: Autumn’ and gives them a renewed sense of focus.

Released as a remastered EP in collaboration with local musicians, the project gathers ‘Soulmates (We Are)’, ‘Enigma’ and ‘Two Sides To The Sun’, three tracks chosen to reflect the breadth of the original album. Together, they offer a concise way into Headmaster’s wider ‘Seasons’ project, where music is shaped around the recurring cycles of change, reflection and renewal.

The remastering also gives these songs another life without disconnecting them from the ideas that first defined them. ‘Soulmates (We Are)’ carries the more intimate side of Headmaster’s songwriting, while ‘Enigma’ leans into the sense of mystery and ambiguity that runs naturally through an autumn-themed release. Then ‘Two Sides To The Sun’ broadens the emotional palette further, reinforcing the feeling that ‘Fall Back’ is intended as more than a simple retrospective.

The wider ‘Seasons’ tetralogy is built around four albums released at the meteorological beginning of Summer, Autumn, Winter and Spring, each forming part of a larger narrative about the cyclical nature of life, emotion and transformation. ‘Fall Back’ certainly works within that framework, but its shorter format makes the autumn chapter feel even more distilled.

As with the original releases, proceeds from ‘Fall Back’ are being donated to causes including Herts Mind Network, Noah’s Ark Children’s Hospice and support for music tuition for local families through Hertswood Academy.

‘Fall Back’ may be revisiting familiar songs, but it does so with a clear reason: to sharpen the music, revisit the autumn chapter and allow those songs to keep doing some good beyond the record itself.
