THE FALL ANNOUNCE DEFINITIVE FINAL STUDIO ALBUM ‘POST SCRIPT’ ARRIVING THIS AUTUMN ON COG SINISTER RECORDS

SALFORD, UK— Cog Sinister Records is proud to announce the upcoming release of Post Script, the official and final studio album by The Fall. Scheduled for release in autumn, this monumental nine-track collection delivers a definitive final statement from one of the most uncompromising, legendary, and influential cult bands in British music history.

Eight years after the passing of iconic frontman Mark E. Smith, Post Script completes a staggering recording career that spanned five decades. The album is built from archival vocal recordings of Smith tracking from 2001 to 2014, with meticulous musical backing completed posthumously by long-time collaborators and former manager/producers Ed Blaney and Simon Archer.

The album’s lead single, "30 Degrees"—co-written by Smith, Archer, and Blaney in Salford—is out now across all major platforms, giving fans a first taste of the record’s raw, driving energy.

“I have spent the afternoon listening to the final mixes,” says former Fall manager and long term accomplice Ed Blaney. “Without any doubt, I can say it’s an absolutely brilliant album. A Fall fan's dream and some... nine absolute bangers.”

Bristling with Smith’s trademark caustic wit, hypnotic repetition, and jagged post-punk energy, Post Script moves seamlessly from fractured garage-rock grooves to eerie spoken-word pieces and ramshackle anthems. It stands as a vital, authorised coda to a group that famously never compromised, never repeated themselves, and never cared what anyone else thought.

Post Script will be available in three distinct physical formats: standard CD, standard black vinyl, and a highly collectable, limited-edition white vinyl LP. Pre-orders are open now via the official band store and all good music outlets.

'Post Script' Official Track Listing:
1. 30 Degrees
2. So Long
3. Colonels Retreat
4. Caveat
5. Final Position
6. Retro Song
7. Irish Northern Man
8. Dehydrated
9. The Book
Release date: 9th October 2026

"The Fall: Box of Ten #2" with Free Bonus Disc "Cork 21st July 2012" Now Available For Pre-order

The Fall were an English post-punk band, formed in 1976 in Prestwich, Greater Manchester. They underwent many line-up changes, with vocalist and founder Mark E. Smith as the only constant member.

First associated with the late 1970s punk movement, the Fall’s music has always pushed & challenged boundaries, with Mark. E. Smith at the helm on and off stage, the band has always been characterised by an abrasive, repetitive guitar-driven sound and tense bass and drum rhythms, along with Smith’s caustic lyrics, described by critic Simon Reynolds as “a kind of Northern English magic realism that mixed industrial grime with the unearthly and uncanny, voiced through a unique, one-note delivery somewhere between amphetamine-spiked rant and alcohol-addled yarn.”

The Fall have been called “the most prolific band of the British post-punk movement.” From 1979 to 2017, they released thirty-two studio albums. They were long associated with BBC disc jockey John Peel, who championed them from early on in their career and described them as his favourite band, famously explaining, “they are always different; they are always the same.” Earlier this year, Smith died at the age of 60, effectively putting an end to the group.

No other band in the world can touch The Fall’s magnificence and sheer volume, which are captured here in 'Box of Ten #2'. Issued on Cog Sinister, The Fall’s official label, and following on from the “Set of Ten”
