Release

The third single "Future Hell" was released on September 6, 2018. Kyle Gilbride explained the single is based on "visions of an unseen place and time, learning lessons of disenchantment from a new and hostile world. Finding a way back, friendship and independence reveal marks on the trail." [12]

On October 5, 2018, Swearin' released the music videos for "Grow Into a Ghost" and "Future Hell". The videos were presented in 3D, and directed by Jake Fogelnest. [13]

[1] Aggregator Album of the Year gave the release a 76 out of 100 based on a critical consensus of 11 reviews. [15]

Joe Goggins from DIY said the album is the "best Swearin' record yet; that Allison and Kyle have not just reformed the band, but actually brought the creative best out of each other in doing so, is a powerful advert for reconciliation". [3] Ian Gormely from Exclaim! mentioned "its sound is more robust, the songs more thoughtful and frankly, more mature," while impressed that it is "their best album to date, Fall Into the Sun is the sound of a band rebuilding itself one song at a time and becoming that much stronger in the process.
