Cathartic Fall Debuts Meditative Soundworlds In Stunning Self-Titled Album

If you're looking for an album that makes you pause and really feel, Cathartic Fall’s debut is it. From the first note of the instrumental opener "Before The Fall" to the haunting a cappella finale "Angel," this record is a journey through a rich, immersive soundscape. Created by Jeoff Harris—who you might know for his work on pop hits like Madelline’s "I’m Only Here for the Beat”, ‘Overwhelmed’ by Royal and The Serpent and Twice’s Billboard 200 chart-topping ‘With YOU-th’—this project moves away from the mainstream and into something way more personal and introspective.

What makes Cathartic Fall stand out is how effortlessly Harris blends different genres. You can hear bits of pop, ambient, and meditative music woven together, each track offering a different piece of his inner world. The songs aren’t just tunes to vibe with—they’re windows into Jeoff Harris’ process of self-discovery and emotional release. According to him, this whole project is about surrendering to your emotions and realizing that what you feel is an essential part of who you are. And you can definitely hear that raw vulnerability throughout the album.

The six tracks don’t just sit in one place, either. Each has its own unique flow. "Strong As Death" and "Just This" build these huge, atmospheric walls of sound that swell and stir up a lot of feeling. It’s the kind of music that hits you in waves, pulling you in deeper with every listen. On the other hand, tracks like “Breathe”, “Slow Me Down" and the single "Ocean" offer a more reflective vibe—perfect for when you need a break from everything. They’re almost like musical deep breaths.

But let’s not forget Jeoff Harris’ pop roots. He hasn’t completely left those behind, and you can hear that in songs like "Where The Wind Blows" and "I Wouldn’t Change A Thing." These tracks are a bit more upbeat and catchy, but they still have that emotional core that runs through the entire album. The hooks stick in your head, but the lyrics go deeper, exploring themes like acceptance and self-understanding.

Jeoff Harris’ personal journey plays a huge role in this album too. Raised in an Evangelical Christian household, you can feel some of those spiritual influences, but not in a preachy way. It’s more like he’s taken the transcendence of worship music and repurposed it into something universal, and spiritual but not tied to any religion. Therapy, meditation, and even psychedelics have helped him process things like grief, loss, anxiety, and relationships, and that all comes through in the music.

Cathartic Fall wants listeners to feel supported, whether through the music itself or through live events and the online community he’s built around it. It’s music that invites you to let go and connect with yourself and others. Overall, Cathartic Fall is much more than background music for your next meditation session (though it works well for that too). It’s cinematic, emotionally charged, and deeply personal—a record that leaves you thinking long after the last note fades.
