Everything is looking up for The Warning, even as Everything's Falling.
The sister trio of vocalist/guitarist Daniela "Dany" Villarreal, drummer Paulina "Pau" Villarreal and bassist Alejandra "Ale" Villarreal will release their fifth studio album, Everything's Falling, on Aug. 28. It's the follow-up to 2024's Keep Me Fed, which was the band's biggest album to date and spawned the top-10 Billboard Mainstream Rock Airplay hit "S!CK."
"We went into [Everything's Falling] with such a clear battle plan of what we wanted to do, what we wanted to say, how we wanted it to sound, how we wanted it to be seen, visually," Pau tells ABC Audio.
The album kicks off with the songs "Ritual" and "Perfect Daughter" before getting to the title track, which establishes the themes of Everything's Falling.
"Everyone in their lives can maybe relate to having an 'everything's falling' moment, and it's what we sorta talk about throughout the album," Dany says. "Having that point of falling, failure or being a little bit lost and kind of the journey back upwards, where it takes you, what you can find about yourself, and knowing that maybe everything can either fall apart or fall into place."
While the beginning of Everything's Falling largely deals with internal strife, after the title track, the album shifts as the language becomes more physical in songs such as "Bite My Tongue," "Kill or Be Killed," "Bloodsport" and "Bruises."
"When we were at that point in this narrative of when everything falls apart, most of the struggle that we all live is very internal and it's very within yourself," Pau says. "But when you are in a troubled space or mindset, you start projecting things outwards, whether you like it or not."
The Warning then burns it all down with the closing track, lead single "Kerosene," which not only brings Everything's Falling to a narrative close but also reminded the band members why they make music in the first place.
"I think ['Kerosene'] is the closest I've felt to when we were writing, the three of us when we were children," Pau says.
The Warning will celebrate the release of Everything's Falling with three Los Angeles shows taking place Sept. 9-11.
