- Released in 2017, 'New Facts Emerge' was The Fall's final studio album before Mark E. Smith's passing in 2018, marking a late-career exploration of their signature sound. At this point, the band had already established themselves as pioneers of post-punk with an extensive discography, but this album reflects an urgency that resonates with both their legacy and contemporary issues.
