The song, made in collaboration with electronic artist and fellow New Yorker Brothertiger, is a slow burning pop song, full of wistful emotion and atmospheric instrumentation. Think a moody, lovesick Radical Face, or a less intense Dawn Golden.

“Been a while now

Thought you would get away from me

Ever beat around it

The way that you got to be

Ever get up

Step in

Though it’s rough

It’s rough, saying something’s gonna happen when you’re still happening

Am I wrong

Aren’t you stepping in to pay out later on

And I’m really hoping later’s gonna come

cause you always take so long, so long”

As seems to be a signature of the record (in this way Foresting is an apt name), the track uses intricate layering to produce something surprisingly complex, with what at first seems to be a simple pop song opening up upon repeated listens to become something far more nuanced and interesting. Have a listen below:

Foresting is out on the 13th November via Odd Gift Records. If ‘So Long’ wasn’t enough to get you hooked, you can hear another single via Grey EPK.
