I am INSANELY excited that Forest Fire are getting ready to return to the UK for some amazing shows with another favourite band of mine, Phosphorescent. Forest Fire haven’t been back here since Rough Trade put their phenomenal debut album Survival in their “Top 10 Best Albums of the Year”, these shows are going to be something very special indeed. Our European brothers & sisters needn’t feel left out, they’re heading your way too! Full dates are on our events page, European shows begin on 19th May, and they’ll be in the UK from 2nd-5th June, finishing in Amsterdam on 6th June. Below is a little reminder of some of the praise that was given to that glorious album (which incidentally you can buy right here along with a free re-worked EP)…
“Album of the Year” – La Blogotheque“Superior lofi indie-Americana…an intriguing record well worth your time: perfect for kicking back with a beer and losing yourself in” – Clash 8/10
“An exercise in urban’n'western with art-punk underpinnings…Lyrically sharp, but musically savvy too” – Uncut 4/5
“Their sound is noisily, knowingly ragged and their lyrics contrastingly romantic…Rock classicism smoulders in this Forest Fire” – Mojo 4/5
“Piping hot…convincingly seductive in it’s wooziness” – NME
…and there’s an awesome new video for Fortune Teller. Amazing.
