John Roderick had already established himself as one of the best young American songwriters around, based on the strength of The Long Winters' debut record, by the time When I Pretend To Fall came out. On their second album the band ups the ante and delivers an astounding collection of tracks, chilling in its unrelenting excellence. Co-produced by Roderick, Ken Stringfellow (Posies, Big Star), and Chris Walla (Death Cab For Cutie), When I Pretend to Fall features guest appearances by Peter Buck (REM), Scott McCaughey (Minus 5), Sean Ripple (American Analog Set), and many others.

John Roderick (i.e. The Long Winters) is one of America's most underrated songwriters and his latest CD, When I Pretend To Fall, is the proof.
