Introducing the new album
Love and Other Acts of Subversion
Love and Other Acts of Subversion, out July 25th, is the product of three years of writing and six months of intensive recording. Forest's lyrical themes of love, spirit, and environmentalism are front and center, along with harmonies by Courtney Renea and Jacob Sellars. The album's influences range dramatically but settle solidly in a unique style of folk rock. Intricate guitar and piano instrumentation support the lyrics, clothed in electric guitar and live string arrangements, and supported by a strong foundation of drums and bass. Recorded with meticulous attention to detail, the recordings preserve the original raw and honest character of the performances.
An art installation featuring cover art by Hosanna White and track art by Asante Riverwind will be unveiled soon after the album release.
