These Are Not Fall Colors is the first and only studio album by the American post-hardcore group Lync.[2] [3] The album was released on K Records in 1994.[4]
The A.V. Club wrote: "Cemented together with ragged, ambient loops of spoken-word samples and guitar feedback, the album's 10 tracks swell and collapse in spasms of alternating beauty, confusion, joy, and skull-scraping noise."[5] Trouser Press deemed the album "not really good, but far from bad," writing that it is "the kind of slackadaisical debut that raises more questions about the band’s intentions and abilities than it answers."[6] Pitchfork wrote that the album "unspools like a collection of song sketches, half-formed ideas that members Sam Jayne, James Bertram, and Dave Schneider pummeled into working shape."[7]
