: Fell first came into being as a series of four-track tapes recorded by Josh Wambeke, half of the Denver space rock outfit Phineas Gage. The experimental demos, heavy on electronics and drum machines, marked the beginning of Wambeke's drift away from the psychedelic pop of Phineas Gage. In early 2001 Wambeke set out to create a full length LP, written and recorded with Michael Dewey on bass and guitar and Josh Cedillo on drums. Their first self-titled album was completed in 2003 and ultimately released in 2006 by Camera Obscura. Characterized by strong songs and swirling post-rock settings, the album was critically hailed and sold well.

In late 2006, bassist Bryan Romero joined the band, and started gigging. After parting ways with their drummer, Wambeke and Romero set out to finish an album Wambeke had been quietly working on since late 2004. During this period Fell began playing various shows locally with different drummers, including Wambeke's comrade in Phineas Gage, the ever prolific Patrick Porter.

Eventually, after months of cycling through band members, Fell was reunited with Michael Dewey, this time with cello in his repertoire, as well as being joined by local drummer E. J. Ulery, and longtime friend and collaborator Bryan Lee on guitar and keys. In late 2007 Fell completed the recordings for their second album "Incoherent Lullabies". In the mean time, Wambeke and Romero have recorded a follow-up record titled "A Farewell To Echoes", which the band has decided to release independently.
