Moving Ahead

May 5th sees Future of Forestry deliver a new six cut expanded EP / mini-album as a follow-up to their outstanding 2007 Credential release Twilight. Travel continues the band’s penchant for creating intelligent, thoughtful, emotion-provoking, impassioned music.
Music flourishes and subtle layering adds to each song’s lushness. Eric Owyoung’s vocals are poignant and expressively textured. The lyrics reflect and embrace the full range of the emotionally-rich human condition from a forthright Christian perspective.
Much like Twilight, Travel is an exceptional group of songs that distinguishes FoF as a band of veracity and craftsmanship. If there is any short-coming, it is Travel’s brevity, which leaves the listener yearning for more.
Future of Forestry’s contemplative, alternative sound should find eager listeners in aficionados of Mute Math, The Glorious Unseen, as well as Chasen, Copeland, Fleet Foxes and The Myriad. View All Music And Book Reviews By IronJedi | View IronJedi's Profile
