“The Sub Pop debut from the New Jersey indie rock band arrives refreshingly well-formed. Their music has an urbane sensibility, one that feels not just older in age, but in sound.” Pitchfork, Kevin Lozano, April 27 2018 “Forth Wanderers employ a tin-can-telephone style of composition which they use even when living in the same area code. Since first collaborating in 2013 as Montclair, New Jersey high schoolers, guitarist and songwriter Ben Guterl and vocalist Ava Trilling have passed songs back and forth like pen pals. Guterl will devise an instrumental skeleton before sending it to vocalist Ava Trilling who pens the lyrics based off the melody. The duo then gather alongside guitarist Duke Greene, bassist Noah Schifrin, and drummer Zach Lorelli to expand upon the demo. It’s a patient and practiced writing system that has carried the quintet through two EPs (2013’s Mahogany and 2016’s Slop) and one LP (2014’s Tough Love). Forth Wanderers, the group’s sophomore record and Sub Pop debut, is the group's most comprehensive and assured statement yet. Now living in Ohio and New York respectively, Guterl and Trilling have evolved their separate but collaborative writing process. “The only way I can really write is by myself in my room with a notebook, listening to the song over and over again,” Trilling says. “I’ve never sat down to write a story, I write the song as it unfolds.” Since her lyrics are often embedded with intimate truths from her life, the private writing experience often leads to intense self-reflection. On Forth Wanderers these introspections include meditations on relationships, discovery, and finding oneself adrift. Despite the inherent heaviness of those themes, Forth Wanderers feels joyous, a rock record bursting with heart.” — via bandcamp Check out their official bandcamp: https://forthwanderers.bandcamp.com Follow them on Twitter: https://twitter.com/forth_wanderers?lang=en ♪ lyrics ♪ I was lying here this morning I thought it'd be best if I left I got up and went out for a walk I was restless, I couldn't hear my thoughts You'd say that I get around I'd say that I'm tightly bound I think I should let my hair down Maybe I will hang a while I was lying here last night I thought it'd be best if I left I got up and went out for a stroll I was nervous, I had no control You'd say that I get around I'd say that I'm tightly bound I think I should let my hair down Maybe I will stay a while Mmhm ______________________________________ Feel free to like, comment or subscribe to our channel for new uploads!
