PRESS HERE to download/stream. PRESS HERE to watch the “Heaven” music video and PRESS HERE to watch the “Earth” music video, both directed by Noah Lamport, which first premiered with mxdwn Music. Forrest Isn’t Dead, whodraws parallels to such acts as The Cure, Gorillaz, and Tame Impala, will release his debut full-length The End Of Everything on September 16th via Madison Records.
“‘Heaven’ is the first song I made for the album. To me, this song represents the overarching theme of the album better than any other tracks,” shares Forrest. “I wrote ‘Earth’ around the time my grandfather passed away. I drew a lot of inspiration from that experience when writing this song. While these two songs were not initially intended as a part 1 and part 2 when writing them, we had a lot of fun connecting the dots between them and feel they ended up going together nicely. We shot both videos in the same location over one weekend to give them a similar feel. For ‘Heaven,’ we wanted to try and capture what the moments during your ascension into the next life might be like. And for ‘Earth,’ we wanted to capture the moments just before your ascension. That said, neither video follows a strict storyline. We wanted to keep the concepts more artistic and vague to let each person draw their own conclusion of what may be going on. Afterall, no one really know what these moments will actually be like.”
The End Of Everything is a haunting and hypnotic hybrid of alternative, pop, and rock twisted up with just the right amount of electronic mystique and glitchy beatcraft. It’s an honest album about life and death, with an overlying theme of being born again as a better person. The forthcoming 12-track collection features Forrest Isn’t Dead’s recent singles “Wash Away,” “Goodbye” and “Born or Made” along with the tracks “Fire,” “Here We Are” and “The Light.”
