Influenced by the more electronic-based material from
the Killers and
U2,
Rise & Fall is the second studio album from German four-piece
Stanfour. Released in 2009, the self-produced follow-up to
Wild Life includes the singles "Wishing You Well," the
Ryan Tedder-penned "Life Without You," later re-released with vocals from Dutch pop singer
Esmée Denters, and their Bundesvision Song Contest entry "Sail On." ~ Jon O'Brien
