Art rock collective[ **The Pull of Autumn**](https://thepullofautumn.bandcamp.com/)
have teamed up with **Luke ‘Skyscraper’ James **of** I.R.S. recording artist FASHION**
on [**‘Funhouse’**](https://youtu.be/iwR0dMCCBxo), the latest offering from the 
collective’s fourth album [**‘Beautiful Broken World’**](https://thepullofautumn.bandcamp.com/album/beautiful-broken-world),
an ambitious 15-track undertaking that began in early 2020. James is a key player
in The Pull of Autumn, having contributed to every album released to date.

Earlier, the band released [**‘Outlaw Empire’**](https://thepullofautumn.bandcamp.com/track/outlaw-empire)****
featuring [**The Pop Group**](https://www.thepopgroup.net/) legend [**Mark Stewart**](https://www.markstewartmusic.com/)
and bassist [**Doug Wimbish**](https://www.dougwimbish.com/)** (Living Colour, Tackhead**,**
The Rolling Stones, Sugarhill Gang**), which was remixed by legendary producer [**Adrian Sherwood**](https://www.adriansherwood.com/).
That was followed by **[‘Live Today’](https://youtu.be/uUiaN13_v3E) **with Tokyo
dreamgazers [**Once Grace Forever**](https://www.oncegraceforever.com/).

This record involves a number of iconic artists, including **Philip Parfitt of The
Perfect Disaster, Stuart Moxham of Rough Trade **postpunk band** Young Marble Giants**
and** John Neff, **who has contributed to multiple** David Lynch **films** **and
is also a member of **David Lynch’s Blubob**.

The Pull of Autumn is a ‘super group’ of sorts, with songs orbiting around Rhode
Island artist Daniel Darrow of [**Johanna’s House of Glamour**](https://www.allmusic.com/artist/johannas-house-of-glamour-mn0001452499)
and involving numerous emerging and notable musicians from the local music scene
and further abroad. The band’s debut 2018 [**eponymous album**](https://thepullofautumn.bandcamp.com/album/the-pull-of-autumn)
was followed by [**‘Afterglow’**](https://thepullofautumn.bandcamp.com/album/afterglow)
in 2019 and** **[**‘Small Colors’**](https://thepullofautumn.bandcamp.com/album/small-colors)
in 2020.

“This song is about how people in rural communities used to have to wait a year 
for the circus/ carnival to come to town. Then it would be gone. As opposed to the
oceans of distraction and “entertainment” that the human race currently wallows 
around in,” says** Luke ‘Skyscraper’ James**.

**Daniel Darrow **adds, “For ‘Funhouse’, I wanted to add an inner-ear sound that
would give the track an otherworldly sound. Luke is a fabulous writer and easily
grasps many different sounds in sound design. We’ve been friends since 2018 and 
I’m glad we have a wonderful friendship as well as shared interest in all types 
of music.”
