Its members are Annelies Tanghe (vocals, guitar, keys, percussion) and Sam Pieter Janssens (guitar, bass, percussion, backing vocals, production). Annelies Tanghe and Sam Pieter Janssens have known each other from playing in bands before they started And Then Came Fall in 2017. The band's first self-titled album, ''And Then Came Fall'', was released on Starman Records on 1 February 2018. The album received critical acclaim. On 14 February 2020, And Then Came Fall premiered a new single, ''Should We'' on their YouTube channel. This song would be the first single of a new upcoming album and the start of a live tour in March 2020 in support of Belgian rock band [De Mens](/source/De_Mens). However, the [COVID-19 pandemic](/source/COVID-19_pandemic) changed plans. Instead of releasing a new album Annelies Tanghe and Sam Pieter Janssens worked, both in their own homestudio, on a song called "Please Don't Disappear". Starman Records released the song on 7 April 2020. It featured on playlists on [Spotify](/source/Spotify) and got national airplay ([Radio1](/source/Radio_1_(Belgium)), [Studio Brussel](/source/Studio_Brussel)). == History == === ''And Then Came Fall'' (2018, full album) === Annelies and Sam had been producing elaborated demos of their songs in the summer of 2016. The songs were re-recorded at La Patrie studio in Ghent, Belgium, during winter of 2016, together with producer [Koen Gisen](/source/Koen_Gisen). Steven Van Gelder played drums and Jasper Hautekiet bass on the album tracks. The band's debut album eventually got printed on vinyl after raising funds via crowdfunding. And Then Came Fall signed up with Starman Records for promotion and distribution of the album.

The duo is currently busy recording and finishing beautiful new songs. Music blog [https://luminousdash.be/singles/and-then-came-fall-the-unknown-klankkast/ Luminous Dash] writes: "Just beneath our skin, the warm sound of sensitive strings nestles, illuminated by the glowing, sparkling tones of the piano and Annelies' angelic voice. The song grows in its structure, with increasing power, but never breaks out of its intimate, beautiful bubble." Dansende beren: "We like to compare her to Joan as Police Woman: the similarity is not that their voices are identical, but that they use the same intimacy, warmth, and slightly husky fragility to convey emotions." {{Cite web |last=Warmoes |first=Tom |date=2025-11-21 |title=Nieuwe single And Then Came Fall - "The Unknown" |url=https://www.dansendeberen.be/2025/11/21/nieuwe-single-and-then-came-fall-the-unknown/ |access-date=2025-11-21 |website=Dansende Beren |language=nl-NL}} == Band members == * Annelies Tanghe: vocals, guitars, keys, piano, percussion, songwriting * Sam Pieter Janssens: guitars, drums, bass, percussion, backing vocals, production ''Additional live band members:'' * Eva Hautekiet: keys, piano, backing vocals * Mathias Moors: bass * Steven Van Gelder: drums == Discography == === Albums === ''And Then Came Fall'': * Released 1 February 2018 * Label: Starman Records * Formats: CD, LP ''The Art Of Love:'' * Released 10 March 2023 * Label: Starman Records * Formats: CD, LP === Singles === * "Disqualified" (Starman Records, 2017) * "Gambler" (Starman Records, 2018) * "Mirror" (Starman Records, 2018) * "Biggest Enemy" (Starman Records, 2018) * "Carved" (Starman Records, 2019) * "Should We" (Starman Records, 2020) * "Please Don't Disappear" (Starman Records, 2020) * "Chasing The Sun" (Starman Records, 2021) * "Love Like Gold" (Starman Records, 2022) * "Out of This" (Starman Records, 2023) * "Sweet Seasons" (Starman Records, 2023) * "The Unknown" ([klankkast]) == References == {{Reflist}} == External links == * [https://www.andthencamefall.com Official website] Category:Belgian indie pop groups Category:2017 establishments in Belgium Category:English-language Belgian musical groups Category:Musical groups established in 2017 --- Adapted from the Wikipedia article [And Then Came Fall](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/And_Then_Came_Fall) by Wikipedia contributors ([contributor history](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/And_Then_Came_Fall?action=history)).
