Over time, the lyrics became more abstract and poetic as the band's style shifted from alternative rock to a more experimental direction and they started creating more diverse music.
The band went through several lineup changes, with only lead vocalist Jessy Ribordy, bassist Jeremy Miller, and drummer Josh Shroy appearing on every album.
Crashings sold 3,396 units in its first week, which exceeded first-week sales of any other album in the history of BEC Recordings—displacing the previous record held by Kutless, who were childhood friends of Falling Up.
Produced by Michael "Elvis" Baskette (Chevelle, Cold), the album, though more melodic and hard rock-driven as a whole, did not deviate far from the sound of Crashings.
[2] On September 12, 2006, Falling Up released Exit Lights, an album featuring remixes of the band's biggest hits and the new song "Islander".
Guitarist Joseph Kisselburgh left the band in May 2006 to focus on his solo project, The Send, which released its debut album on Tooth & Nail Records in July 2007.
The first single from the album was "Hotel Aquarium", followed by "Goodnight Gravity", "How They Made Cameras", "Maps", and "A Guide to Marine Life".
It was also said that the album would be "more of an arrangement than just a record that is put together randomly" and that it "[would] not have 14 great songs in entirety, but just intriguing moments and sections".
After the release of Fangs!, band members Jessy Ribordy and Josh Shroy started a side project under the name The River Empires, which created an album Epilogue with the help of The Dear Hunter's Casey Crescenzo and a handful of other musicians.
Jessy also stated that the band members felt uncomfortable ending Falling Up so abruptly, leading to their decision to return making music, independently this time.
On March 18, 2011, the band's website was updated with a logo displaying Your Sparkling Death Cometh, and a release date of June 2011.
The same day as the release of Your Sparkling Death Cometh, Falling Up updated their website to fit with the theme of the album.
With the album's release, they added a biography section to their website, which implied that they were hoping to continue Falling Up, even 10 years after its inception.
[9] Falling Up announced in early January 2012 that a remix EP was in the works and also said that they were hoping to have some new music released by the end of the year.
The Mnemos EP was released on Groupees through the "Feed Them with Music" program, a charity which provides a meal for a needy family for every download.
[14][15] On June 10, 2016, Falling Up released a two-song EP titled Reimagined to follow through on a reward tier from their Kickstarter campaign.
It consisted of two re-created songs, "Broken Heart" and "Arafax Deep", which originally debuted on the band's first album, Crashings.
In August 2024, Falling Up announced a new project via their Instagram, titled The Chilling Alpine Adventure with the caption "The final chapter of a 20-year journey".
