About Forever Howlong
Forever Howlong is the band’s first studio release since 2022’s UK #3 album Ants From Up There, and will be there third album, and first since the live album Live at Bush Hall.
The album was produced by James Ford and vocal duties – and most of the song writing – is split between Tyler Hyde, Georgia Ellery, and May Kershaw.
“It created a real through line for the album, having three girls singing,” says Ellery. “It’s definitely very different to Ants From Up There, because of the female perspective – and the music we’ve made also compliments that.
Forever Howlong is an ambitious, meticulously detailed record that includes everything from folk to prog via baroque pop and touches of alt-rock – with nods to everything from Joanna Newsom to Randy Newman via Fiona Apple and Janis Ian – yet all the while retaining that unmistakably unique sound that only this combination of musicians can come up with. Although hugely varied and expansive, the album also feels deeply cohesive and focused, as it takes three distinct voices and styles and seamlessly intersperses them into a new collective sound.
