It wasn't until someone else listened to his lyrics and gave him feedback that he confronted his own underlying issues. It was really bad."īut at the top of the second verse of "Moonlight" came his subconscious lyrical confession: I love you like the train loves to roll And whenever it stops all it wants is just to go But sometimes when it's going all at once is a break Stuck forever on this track is just very scary to face "I got out of a relationship with a girl I wrote a lot about, and then I got into a new relationship with a new person, and I just burned it to the ground months later, because I was really afraid of committing to something, because all I've seen is relationships fail my whole life," Lopes says, "Shit felt so easily disposable I just broke up with her one day so rash and abrupt and shittily. Lopes shared a particularly revelatory moment he had while recording "Moonlight," a song that turned out to be the emotional crux of the record. It's not dissimilar to the feeling of leaving a party, high off the camaraderie of friends and maybe a little something else, only to wind up in your feelings as you slowly sober up on the way home. The songs aren't presented on the album in chronological order in which they were written, though they feel as though they are, as there is a clear emotional trajectory that is easy to hear (and internalize) as you listen to the album. Several songs from The Fall were written before "Peach Scone" blew up, Lopes tells me, and the rest came after, wrapping up at the top of this year. But, his genre-straddling sound, landing somewhere between rap and lackadaisical surf punk, already had plenty of people throwing him praise-particularly after he first spawned viral attention on the internet with his audition for NPR's Tiny Desk competition, in which he performed an endearing backyard rendition of his song "Peach Scone."īut he's always played with bigger sounds than that, and on The Fall of Hobo Johnson, he pushes genre boundaries to their furthest extent, traversing from wall-of-sound punk rock on "Typical Story" to the subdued cool of string-heavy hip-hop, returning to bare-boned guitar soundscapes by the end of the album that have his bars sounding like slam poetry.
