Set around Monterey Bay, Whalefall traps Jay Gardiner between the physical terror of a sperm whale’s body and the painful legacy of his father. The instrumentals move from open-water scale to claustrophobic urgency and hard-won release; the vocal songs trace grief, resentment, survival, and the difficult bond between father and son.
