0:53 Speaker 1: there we go. Now we can hear your dulcin tones. Yes,

0:58 Speaker 1: very good, very good. Well, welcome guys. Now, of course,

1:00 Speaker 1: now some of you have been on the show before

1:02 Speaker 1: because there was a previous band after image, and how

1:06 Speaker 1: many of you were in after image? Was it three

1:08 Speaker 1: of you? Or yeah?

1:09 Speaker 2: It was three of you?

1:10 Speaker 1: Okay? And then so out of that came the Forest

1:13 Speaker 1: for Guts. Now, how long has the Forest Forgets existed

1:17 Speaker 1: since October?

1:20 Speaker 2: Okay longer than that, yeah, I guess almost.

1:23 Speaker 5: Since October, I believe for November.

1:25 Speaker 1: So this is pretty new and for people watching online

1:30 Speaker 1: of course, uh, you know, we'll we'll take a picture afterward.

1:32 Speaker 1: But you guys brought me a copy of the new

1:35 Speaker 1: the new EP, so very nice of wind and willow

1:39 Speaker 1: and so well, let's start with the obvious questions. So

1:42 Speaker 1: where does the name come from the Forest Forgets?

1:46 Speaker 5: It's I think it was based off of like where

1:49 Speaker 5: we're from is a state we wanted, like a nature theme, Yeah,

1:52 Speaker 5: like being in New Hampshire, the White Mountains, the forest

1:54 Speaker 5: and everything around us.

1:55 Speaker 1: Yeah.

1:56 Speaker 5: I think kind of an interesting thing about bands is

1:58 Speaker 5: like regionality and with that comes like sound and expectations.

2:02 Speaker 5: So you think about California, there's like a sound, right Ritschfield,

2:06 Speaker 5: there's a sound. You think about you know, Boston there's

2:09 Speaker 5: like a punk scene as a sound. You think in

2:10 Speaker 5: New Hampshire. I think it's very vague, but I think

2:13 Speaker 5: there's a lot to tap into, especially for like the

2:15 Speaker 5: genre that we're trying to do, like a more slower,

2:17 Speaker 5: ambient post metal sound. So it came from that, like

2:21 Speaker 5: having that nature theme but the forest forgets itself. James

2:25 Speaker 5: came up with that. It's from a saying do you

2:27 Speaker 5: remember the same.

2:29 Speaker 2: The saying is the acts forgets, but the tree remembers.

2:33 Speaker 1: Okay, oh interesting.

2:36 Speaker 5: Yeah, but it's just kind of it was more of

2:40 Speaker 5: a statement about like I don't know, passage of time,

2:44 Speaker 5: I guess, and it's kind of like a trope in

2:47 Speaker 5: media and like post apocalyptic or like where humanity's gone,

2:51 Speaker 5: like nature kind of overtakes human construction, like cities become

2:55 Speaker 5: forests again after a long time. Okay, do what you

2:59 Speaker 5: can while you're here, but in the end, eventually everything

3:02 Speaker 5: kind of goes back to where it came.

3:03 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, no, that makes sense. No, I like that.

3:05 Speaker 1: And I noticed too with the imagery looking at pictures

3:10 Speaker 1: of you guys online and such, it's you really kind

3:13 Speaker 1: of bring that theme, the forest theme, and everything everything's

3:16 Speaker 1: kind of dark, you know, like it's like it's actually

3:19 Speaker 1: hard and it's not a complaint. It's a. It's a

3:21 Speaker 1: cool thing, but it's it's hard to find a picture

3:23 Speaker 1: of you guys. Maybe maybe there as a band, Maybe

3:26 Speaker 1: there are some that I just didn't see where it's

3:28 Speaker 1: like bright and you know, you can clearly see everybody.

3:30 Speaker 1: It's like you kind of like you've kind of done

3:32 Speaker 1: this mysterious thing that I think is cool.

3:34 Speaker 5: Yeah. A lot of that was Victoria Comerford, her hit,

3:38 Speaker 5: Brandon's girlfriend. Okay, there's a lot of favors for us

3:41 Speaker 5: coming out doing photography.

3:42 Speaker 4: Oh, very cool photography.

3:44 Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, pretty much everything we posted.

3:46 Speaker 1: Yeah, is that gonna be the theme going for? Like

3:48 Speaker 1: you think you're gonna stick with that?

3:50 Speaker 3: Uh?

3:50 Speaker 1: Or or maybe it'll evolve over time or I don't know.

3:53 Speaker 1: I mean it's like I said, it's kind of a

3:54 Speaker 1: cool thing, a little little bit of mystery, and.

3:56 Speaker 4: I'm sure it'll have its own Yeah, things go on.

3:59 Speaker 4: But I think that's kind of the the gist of

4:02 Speaker 4: the vibe we're going for.

4:03 Speaker 1: I guess yeah, yeah, yeah, No, I like the I

4:06 Speaker 1: like the mistique of it. Now the songs from After Image,

4:11 Speaker 1: have any of those carried over into the forest Forgets

4:14 Speaker 1: or is this all new or what's what's been your

4:16 Speaker 1: approach as far as.

4:17 Speaker 4: That, Uh, it's it's all new stuff. We wanted to

4:21 Speaker 4: just do something like kind of like from scratch. Yeah,

4:24 Speaker 4: a whole new sound and interpretation of like instruments and

4:29 Speaker 4: what we can do with them.

4:30 Speaker 1: Yeah.

4:31 Speaker 4: Yeah, And I think the biggest thing with that is

4:33 Speaker 4: we've changed the tunings. I think we mostly playing like

4:36 Speaker 4: drop c now oh okayet of like standard tuning. So yeah, yeah,

4:39 Speaker 4: it's a lot lower and heavier. Yeah aggressive, I guess.

4:43 Speaker 1: Yeah, I like it. And Jenny was commenting to how

4:46 Speaker 1: much she loves your guitar playing, and it's got a

4:48 Speaker 1: very distinctive kind of kind of sound and vibe to.

4:51 Speaker 4: Which is really cool. It's like one of my favorite

4:54 Speaker 4: comments compliments.

4:56 Speaker 1: Very nice. And you've got a excuse, I promise, I'm

5:01 Speaker 1: not sick. I was sick, but I've got that lingering,

5:03 Speaker 1: you know, you get that lingering. Cough. It sucks. So

5:08 Speaker 1: the video now, tell us about the video for with Grace,

5:10 Speaker 1: because that's that's pretty it's kind of kind of heavy.

5:14 Speaker 1: It's it's got a got a heavy, heavy theme to it.

5:17 Speaker 1: That was kind of griffin really.

5:19 Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, pretty much. It was reactionary to what was

5:28 Speaker 5: going on with my grandparents passing away. Oh okay, Yeah,

5:32 Speaker 5: so I wanted to kind of create like an external

5:35 Speaker 5: expression of that weird sense of grief you get when

5:38 Speaker 5: you watch two loved ones kind of fall apart in

5:40 Speaker 5: front of you.

5:41 Speaker 1: Yeah.

5:42 Speaker 5: So it felt really cathartic to do.

5:45 Speaker 6: So.

5:45 Speaker 5: Yeah, and from what I've been told, I think it

5:48 Speaker 5: articulates and translates very well for people that watch it.

5:50 Speaker 1: Yeah, but I agree, yeah, definitely.

5:53 Speaker 5: Yeah, it just felt like, honestly, like kind of lightning

5:56 Speaker 5: in the bottle. Like how it all came out, it

5:59 Speaker 5: was very It was all gorilla filmmaking. Yeah, Like Dylan

6:04 Speaker 5: Williams came out and we have a friend that owns

6:07 Speaker 5: an island, so he just came out on a boat

6:10 Speaker 5: and like filmed filmed me just up as an old man,

6:12 Speaker 5: and he just pieced it together.

6:13 Speaker 1: And yeah, how long did it take? Was that all

6:16 Speaker 1: done in one day or because there's a lot to.

6:19 Speaker 5: It, that was two days of shooting. The first day

6:21 Speaker 5: was like twelve hours and the second day was an

6:24 Speaker 5: hour and a half.

6:24 Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, wow.

6:26 Speaker 5: Yeah it was. It was a pretty daunting task that

6:28 Speaker 5: first day. A lot of coordination, especially with like the

6:30 Speaker 5: makeup and like I had to shave my face yeap.

6:33 Speaker 5: Victoria Comerford also did the makeup for my face as well.

6:36 Speaker 5: Excellent ageify me and make it be more believable, right,

6:39 Speaker 5: I think it workedsu. I've had a couple of people

6:40 Speaker 5: ask me the like, is that you are you the

6:42 Speaker 5: old man?

6:42 Speaker 1: Yeah?

6:43 Speaker 5: It looks so different.

6:44 Speaker 1: Yeah, So I wasn't sure really watching it. I wasn't sure.

6:48 Speaker 1: I thought. I mean, I thought so, but I wasn't sure.

6:50 Speaker 4: That's awesome yeah either, yeah me neither. I wasn't.

6:52 Speaker 1: Yeah, Now that was really well done. Is that what

6:55 Speaker 1: the song is about too?

6:57 Speaker 5: One of the interpretations, Yeah, I know. It's it's hard

7:00 Speaker 5: because like my mom had her when I showed her,

7:02 Speaker 5: she had a very specific interpretation of it, and I

7:04 Speaker 5: kind of felt like I didn't want to like take

7:06 Speaker 5: that away from her by getting for my version of it.

7:09 Speaker 5: But for me, that song was written to my fiance.

7:13 Speaker 5: It's a it's a love song, okay, okay about her

7:17 Speaker 5: being really tough on herself.

7:19 Speaker 1: So yeah, I wanted to.

7:20 Speaker 5: Give her a little love letter and say stop it.

7:23 Speaker 5: Life's going to be okay, right right.

7:26 Speaker 1: That's yeah, No, that's cool, and that's that's The thing

7:30 Speaker 1: too about music is you know, everybody can kind of

7:32 Speaker 1: take it and interpret it however they want. And it's

7:36 Speaker 1: I've always thought it's interesting, you know, for me for

7:39 Speaker 1: and I don't know, Jenny might be able to relate

7:41 Speaker 1: to this too, as as gen xers. We grew up

7:44 Speaker 1: in a time where a lot of the music that

7:46 Speaker 1: was popular there was no room for interpretation. Yeah, Like,

7:50 Speaker 1: you know, my my all time favorite band is Kiss.

7:53 Speaker 1: But when you listen to a Kiss song, there's no

7:56 Speaker 1: misunderstanding what what they're what their dog about, you know,

8:00 Speaker 1: but there are there are a couple of exceptions to that.

8:04 Speaker 1: But but generally, you know, there's no misunderstanding. But but

8:08 Speaker 1: I remember really finding it fascinating in the nineties when

8:13 Speaker 1: the grunge era started that, you know, and a lot

8:15 Speaker 1: of these bands like Pearl Jam for example, it's like

8:18 Speaker 1: you you know, you listen to the lyrics and it's like, uh,

8:22 Speaker 1: I just remember having conversations with friends about you know, well,

8:25 Speaker 1: I think the song means this or this is what

8:28 Speaker 1: it means to me, and different people bringing different interpretations

8:31 Speaker 1: to it. And and ever since then, I've always been

8:33 Speaker 1: fascinated by the way that yeah, I don't know if

8:39 Speaker 1: any if any of you have ever experienced this, but

8:41 Speaker 1: if you ever, you you uh, listen to a song,

8:45 Speaker 1: you hear the lyrics or maybe you look up the

8:46 Speaker 1: lyrics and they they mean something to you, and then

8:50 Speaker 1: you you read an interview with whoever wrote the song

8:54 Speaker 1: and they say it means something completely different than what

8:56 Speaker 1: your interpretation was, and then there's that little part of

8:59 Speaker 1: you that goes, oh, you know what I mean. And

9:03 Speaker 1: in the end, it doesn't matter because it's art and

9:04 Speaker 1: it's subjective and it means to you whatever it means

9:06 Speaker 1: to you. But but I've experienced that too, that feeling

9:09 Speaker 1: of oh it means that I thought it meant this

9:12 Speaker 1: other thing.

9:12 Speaker 5: Yeah, don't kind of take away like the engagement for

9:16 Speaker 5: the listener. Yeah, like my personal experience that gave the

9:20 Speaker 5: song that weight. It's like you can still apply it,

9:23 Speaker 5: but now you know the direct intention, right, so you

9:26 Speaker 5: can't invest as much of yourself into.

9:27 Speaker 1: It, right, right? Yeah? Exactly exactly? Is that? Are all

9:34 Speaker 1: of your songs kind of like that where you can

9:37 Speaker 1: you know, sort of interpret them different ways? I mean,

9:39 Speaker 1: that's that's that's my impression of your music. It's like,

9:41 Speaker 1: you can you can really kind of put read into

9:45 Speaker 1: it whatever you want to.

9:46 Speaker 2: And yeah, I would say I think that's one of

9:49 Speaker 2: Griffin's strong points is his lyricism has always been really

9:55 Speaker 2: thought provoking. Yeah, and it's not kind of late. It's

9:58 Speaker 2: not late on in front of you. You do kind of

10:00 Speaker 2: have to give it a couple listens and you know,

10:02 Speaker 2: digest it.

10:03 Speaker 1: Yeah.

10:04 Speaker 2: So I think it carries through most of the songs.

10:06 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, outstanding. Now what is the writing, So Griffin,

10:11 Speaker 1: do you write all the lyrics or lyrics? Yeah?

10:13 Speaker 5: Yeah, just about I mean he I'm terrible at grammar, Yeah,

10:18 Speaker 5: terrible are you?

10:19 Speaker 1: Yeah?

10:20 Speaker 5: Yeah, So James is like my retroactive editor coming like

10:24 Speaker 5: this word doesn't make any sense. It makes sense here, right.

10:30 Speaker 5: So it is a collaborative effort. I get, I print

10:33 Speaker 5: out all the lyrics and I let them read it

10:35 Speaker 5: because I want them to kind of get in that

10:37 Speaker 5: space with me I go to record. But it is collaborative.

10:42 Speaker 5: I'd say James definitely steps up to the plate a

10:44 Speaker 5: lot and kind of like helps me find what I'm

10:46 Speaker 5: trying to hit.

10:46 Speaker 1: Yeah, and then do the lyrics come first and then

10:50 Speaker 1: the music or no, okay, it's all music.

10:53 Speaker 5: It's very reactive to the music.

10:55 Speaker 1: Okay, that.

10:58 Speaker 5: It's not really learned. I guess it's more so just

11:00 Speaker 5: habitual over time.

11:01 Speaker 1: Yeah, so it becomes instinctive.

11:03 Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, because I feel like writing slam poetry and

11:06 Speaker 5: then trying to like that onto a song it can

11:09 Speaker 5: be very clunky, So I try to base it around

11:12 Speaker 5: the song itself.

11:12 Speaker 1: Yeah, No, that makes sense. And then so how does

11:14 Speaker 1: the music come about? What's the process there?

11:17 Speaker 4: There's a couple different ways, I think. For for with Grace,

11:21 Speaker 4: it was actually a song that James programmed in was

11:25 Speaker 4: it like Ableton and it sounded completely different than what

11:31 Speaker 4: it ended as, But he brought that idea to us

11:33 Speaker 4: and we took all the parts we liked and then

11:36 Speaker 4: kind of added what we could to make it sound

11:38 Speaker 4: more like the other stuff we had written. Yeah, but

11:42 Speaker 4: I think was it. The other three were pretty much

11:45 Speaker 4: just us jamming on with whatever we could come up with, yeah,

11:49 Speaker 4: and taking the parts we liked. We what we started

11:53 Speaker 4: doing was we record every practice, so we would have

11:55 Speaker 4: like a like a couple hour jam session or something,

11:58 Speaker 4: and then it was usually Griffin as the ring leader

12:01 Speaker 4: and listening back to it and like grabbing little clips

12:04 Speaker 4: and timestance and saying I think this would be cool

12:06 Speaker 4: with like minute fifty of this jam going into like

12:10 Speaker 4: the first minute of like the second jam or whatever,

12:13 Speaker 4: and it was just kind of like pieced together that way.

12:15 Speaker 1: Yeah.

12:16 Speaker 5: Well, such a new band, you got to like learn

12:18 Speaker 5: how to engage with each other and interact with each other.

12:21 Speaker 5: I think it was very helpful for someone to kind

12:24 Speaker 5: of like get that ball rolling, right because we're writing

12:26 Speaker 5: new stuff now and it's not like that at all.

12:29 Speaker 5: It's very really yeah, it's very like, let's sit in

12:32 Speaker 5: the space, let's build this song together. Kyle is no

12:35 Speaker 5: like head orchestrator.

12:36 Speaker 1: Yeah.

12:37 Speaker 5: Now it's all like one hundred percent collaborative. But the EP,

12:39 Speaker 5: we were all so new to each other. Yeah, well

12:42 Speaker 5: we're also new to the band, right right, Yeah, like that,

12:45 Speaker 5: I think it made it easier and more concise for

12:47 Speaker 5: one person to kind of like lead the ship regards,

12:50 Speaker 5: so James coming in with pretty much with Grace road

12:54 Speaker 5: mapped out, it was very helpful And I think I

12:56 Speaker 5: kind of did that role too, like the other songs

12:59 Speaker 5: just kind of like orchestration stuff. But now it feels

13:01 Speaker 5: very collaborative.

13:02 Speaker 1: Yeah, Oh cool, cool, very cool. Where do you guys

13:05 Speaker 1: record because everything sounds amazing.

13:07 Speaker 4: We record over at Blackhart Studios, yes, which I work

13:11 Speaker 4: there with Eric, Oh you do, okay, Yeah, and infrequently,

13:15 Speaker 4: but yeah, we went there and we did what was

13:18 Speaker 4: it like two days for instruments and then like another

13:21 Speaker 4: day for vocals. But yeah, I love that. I love

13:25 Speaker 4: that space. It feels like it almost feels like a

13:28 Speaker 4: home away from home. How much time I've spent there,

13:30 Speaker 4: no kidding. The familiarity with everything just made everything super

13:34 Speaker 4: easy for me to like engineer and get us going

13:37 Speaker 4: as quickly as possible.

13:38 Speaker 1: Yeah, we had Eric on the show a number of

13:40 Speaker 1: months ago, and it was it was great to finally

13:42 Speaker 1: have him on because you know, I kept telling him, dude,

13:45 Speaker 1: your name comes up all the time on my show.

13:47 Speaker 1: We got to get you on. So yeah, that was

13:50 Speaker 1: so you you work there with him, you, Yeah.

13:53 Speaker 4: Usually what ends up happening is if he's busy doing something,

13:55 Speaker 4: I'll come in and I'll do like the recording for

13:58 Speaker 4: the most part, okay, the stuff that he'll end up

14:01 Speaker 4: mixing and mastering. But oh, there's been a couple of

14:03 Speaker 4: projects I've done mastering and mixing on for them, like

14:06 Speaker 4: Dead Harrison.

14:07 Speaker 1: I think we Yeah, we were talking about that off

14:09 Speaker 1: are Yeah, our friend's Dead Harrison, Yeah, which they were.

14:12 Speaker 4: They were a lot of fun to uh to work with.

14:15 Speaker 1: Yeah, No, they're great. Yeah, I've known them forever and

14:18 Speaker 1: yeah we often play there while They've been on the

14:20 Speaker 1: show a bunch of times, and of course and they're

14:21 Speaker 1: also a part of uh, you know, the Midnight Creatives

14:24 Speaker 1: Collective and Terminus Underground in Nashua. And yeah, I love

14:28 Speaker 1: that uh that song Terror Grinder, Yeah, I love that song.

14:32 Speaker 4: That one and Monolith Florid. I think that's my favorite

14:34 Speaker 4: off of that.

14:35 Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, no, those are those are great. Those are great.

14:37 Speaker 7: I was lucky enough to have my paintings on display

14:40 Speaker 7: there last month and there's a cool video of them.

14:43 Speaker 7: It was all of my darkest paintings and this is

14:46 Speaker 7: cool video with Dead Harrison playing in the background because

14:48 Speaker 7: they're their practice room was right on the other side

14:51 Speaker 7: of the wall.

14:51 Speaker 4: That's awesome.

14:52 Speaker 1: Yeah, well we should, Uh let's play another studio track

15:13 Speaker 1: or is there a story about the song we should.

15:15 Speaker 3: Know or it's it's my personal favorite. But apart from that,

15:20 Speaker 3: it's just the first track.

15:22 Speaker 1: Okay.

15:23 Speaker 4: It was like it was between that and with Grace

15:25 Speaker 4: for a single.

15:26 Speaker 1: Yeah, we were, we were defeating it for a long time.

15:28 Speaker 1: Oh okay, Oh excuse me, I apologize for my voice.

20:32 Speaker 1: I can see why you guys went with that. Yeah,

20:59 Speaker 1: just kind of I mean, obviously this has been out

21:01 Speaker 1: for a relatively short time, right the the new EP.

21:04 Speaker 5: Well, the first single dropped Thursday.

21:07 Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, oh so very new.

21:09 Speaker 5: Yeah, and then the EP actually fully releases next Friday. Okay,

21:12 Speaker 5: it's like a little teaser for everybody.

21:14 Speaker 1: Oh very good.

21:17 Speaker 7: Is this a world premiere on radio?

21:19 Speaker 1: Yes, very good. Week, We do love, We do Love

21:23 Speaker 1: The world radio premieres here on the show. So that's wonderful.

21:26 Speaker 1: Are you guys already writing stuff, because you strike me

21:30 Speaker 1: as you probably write a lot. I'm guessing you've got

21:32 Speaker 1: a lot of tunes. Yeah, we have a lot of like,

21:35 Speaker 1: we have a lot of.

21:38 Speaker 4: Getting longer, yeah, right, less and less digestible.

21:44 Speaker 5: Yeah, I have like sixteen minutes worth of music, but

21:46 Speaker 5: it's two songs.

21:47 Speaker 9: Right.

21:49 Speaker 5: In terms of like going back to record, I think

21:51 Speaker 5: we're probably not going to go back for a little bit. Yeah,

21:53 Speaker 5: like a year, eight months. I'm actually just talking to

21:56 Speaker 5: the guys about it in the group chat yesterday. I

21:58 Speaker 5: feel like an EP has like eight on's worth of

22:00 Speaker 5: legs until people like Okay, So our main goal right

22:03 Speaker 5: now is to play out, start playing some shows, yea,

22:05 Speaker 5: develop a live set, get in that space consistently. Yeah,

22:09 Speaker 5: we can once we start.

22:11 Speaker 2: What now that we can show people what we're playing.

22:13 Speaker 5: Yeah, now that we people know what we sound like,

22:15 Speaker 5: right right, demos on band camp Yeah, But for the

22:19 Speaker 5: newer material that we are working on, I definitely want

22:21 Speaker 5: to approach it from a live setting with Brandon's mixing.

22:25 Speaker 5: The whole goal was like live, Yeah, this is how

22:27 Speaker 5: we sound live.

22:28 Speaker 1: Yeah. So you guys haven't played out yet or we've

22:32 Speaker 1: played what three shows too? Okay? So we've done three.

22:35 Speaker 5: Shows, yeah, three shows in nine months. Okay, it's been

22:38 Speaker 5: pretty sparse, but nobody knows what we sound like.

22:40 Speaker 1: Right, right exactly? Yeah, yeah, so that, yeah, this is

22:43 Speaker 1: all new. And what went into the decision to do

22:49 Speaker 1: an EP because you know a lot of the guests

22:52 Speaker 1: that we have on the show, they approach it different ways.

22:54 Speaker 1: You know, you can do an EP, you can do

22:55 Speaker 1: a full album, you can do some people now they

22:58 Speaker 1: just release a series of singles that eventually become an album.

23:01 Speaker 1: What what went into that decision to do an EP.

23:05 Speaker 3: I think it was just like we wanted to get

23:08 Speaker 3: stuff out quickly, Yeah, and we didn't want to have

23:11 Speaker 3: eight or ten tracks to put on an album, right,

23:14 Speaker 3: and we didn't want to have as little as a single. Yeah,

23:17 Speaker 3: because we had a lot of stuff working. Yeah, yeah,

23:20 Speaker 3: that had a consistent sound.

23:22 Speaker 1: Yeah, the songs together work well. You know, I can

23:27 Speaker 1: see why you would want to put them together instead

23:29 Speaker 1: of just putting them out of singles necessarily.

23:30 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a very consistent project, I think.

23:33 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, definitely, No, that makes a lot of sense.

23:36 Speaker 1: Do you have another video that you're working on or

23:38 Speaker 1: I mean, I know this one again. I know with

23:40 Speaker 1: Grace Jeff came out, but no.

23:43 Speaker 5: Las one was a tour de force yeah, on all fronts. Yeah,

23:47 Speaker 5: so I felt like for an EP, like here's a

23:50 Speaker 5: nine minute short film that you know, I was talking

23:53 Speaker 5: to the guys the other day about maybe doing something

23:55 Speaker 5: a little bit smaller, a little bit smaller in scale

23:59 Speaker 5: for like another single, right, but as of right now,

24:02 Speaker 5: it's just with Grace. We kind of felt like that

24:04 Speaker 5: was like a statement piece. Come out with a bang. Yeah,

24:06 Speaker 5: here's a concept, it's all cohesive, it all ties in

24:09 Speaker 5: YEP and again legs like, it's got four songs. Here's

24:13 Speaker 5: a nine minute video. So if I were to do another,

24:16 Speaker 5: that'd be like fifteen minutes for a twenty five minute EP. Right,

24:19 Speaker 5: it's a little crazy. But we do have more like

24:21 Speaker 5: behind the more content about how we made the EP

24:24 Speaker 5: and like behind the scenes on the video itself, because

24:27 Speaker 5: we still want to like give people something to engage with.

24:29 Speaker 5: But in terms of like artistic expressions through the form

24:32 Speaker 5: of a music video, I think that's probably going to

24:34 Speaker 5: be it for now.

24:35 Speaker 1: Yeah.

24:35 Speaker 5: I think now the direction is just let's play live.

24:38 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, no, that makes sense. And then what was

24:43 Speaker 1: the Oh, so, what what do you have? Like, do

24:46 Speaker 1: you have shows coming up?

24:47 Speaker 5: Do you have do you have some shows booked or

24:49 Speaker 5: if we have two shows booked in December, Okay, I don't.

24:52 Speaker 5: I think you know more details about those than I do.

24:55 Speaker 4: All I know is that they're more than likely happening.

24:59 Speaker 1: Yeah, Yeah, nothing to announce.

25:01 Speaker 5: Yeah, a single dropping. We've had a lot of people

25:04 Speaker 5: reach out and they're like, hey, play a show. So yeah,

25:07 Speaker 5: it's kind of naturally occurring.

25:08 Speaker 1: No, I'm curious, curious to see you guys live big time,

25:12 Speaker 1: me too. Absolutely, we should also talk about too, So

25:15 Speaker 1: I don't know they will necessarily play it. But there

25:17 Speaker 1: was a track run here that's that is different than

25:20 Speaker 1: the others. Yeah, catching the big Fish in the vast

25:22 Speaker 1: purple Sea. That's kind of an ambient. There's no lyrics

25:26 Speaker 1: of that, correct from what I.

25:27 Speaker 4: Call it's it's all all guitar.

25:29 Speaker 1: Yeah, Oh, it's all guitar.

25:31 Speaker 4: Sound sources that I found and recorded. I think it's

25:35 Speaker 4: my favorite sound that I put in there is my

25:38 Speaker 4: drag machine. Oh really, like my drag machine in my apartment.

25:43 Speaker 1: Yeah.

25:43 Speaker 4: I had like a like it was like a pair

25:45 Speaker 4: of pants that and coins in there, and it was

25:46 Speaker 4: just making this funny sound. Yeah, And I recorded it

25:49 Speaker 4: one day and then I was mixing it, and I

25:51 Speaker 4: was like, I think that'd be fun to throw in there.

25:52 Speaker 1: Yeah.

25:53 Speaker 4: Nice, but yeah, that's just ambient guitar.

25:55 Speaker 10: It was.

25:57 Speaker 4: It was something I think Griffin had me do for

26:00 Speaker 4: our first video.

26:02 Speaker 5: At first, like we do a YouTube series called Broots Remain.

26:07 Speaker 5: It's just kind of like about us as a band. Yeah,

26:09 Speaker 5: it's all self produced. It's you know, I wouldn't expect

26:11 Speaker 5: much from it, but I was like, hey, can you

26:14 Speaker 5: just like make this ambient guitar track just so I

26:16 Speaker 5: have some space to fill And then and.

26:18 Speaker 4: Then I I think I did it at the practice

26:20 Speaker 4: space and we all kind of liked like the like

26:23 Speaker 4: the vibe of it. And the first show we played,

26:25 Speaker 4: we actually we in the middle of this that we

26:27 Speaker 4: just stopped and I sat on the ground and just

26:29 Speaker 4: played you know, ambient guitar for what like five five minutes. Yeah,

26:34 Speaker 4: I think that's right.

26:35 Speaker 13: And then.

26:37 Speaker 4: I don't know, I really liked it and I wanted

26:38 Speaker 4: to have it on the EP. So when it was

26:41 Speaker 4: like almost a complete afterthought in the studio, like we

26:43 Speaker 4: were all wrapped up and I was like, wait, I

26:44 Speaker 4: got one more thing to do, and it was just

26:47 Speaker 4: like one take of improv guitar with layers of reverb.

26:52 Speaker 1: Yeah.

26:53 Speaker 5: I think it's one of those songs feeling it as

26:55 Speaker 5: opposed to listening to it like live, feeling all that

26:58 Speaker 5: running around you, right, Yeah, very transcendental. I guess I

27:02 Speaker 5: would say, I don't know if that's the word, James,

27:03 Speaker 5: but I'm trying.

27:07 Speaker 4: Because I got the I got the name actually from

27:09 Speaker 4: it's a quote from the filmmaker David Lynch, the way

27:13 Speaker 4: he approaches making films that he'll do transcendental meditation. Oh,

27:18 Speaker 4: he thinks of himself fishing for ideas in like a

27:21 Speaker 4: large purple ocean.

27:23 Speaker 1: I didn't know that about David Lynch, but if you

27:25 Speaker 1: told me, I guess a director who approaches it this way,

27:28 Speaker 1: I would probably guess it was David Lynch. Yeah, that's interesting,

27:33 Speaker 1: that's interesting. Well, let's all the time goes so quick.

27:36 Speaker 1: Let's I want to make sure we get the rest

27:38 Speaker 1: of these and let's listen to disintegrate. Sure, you guys

27:42 Speaker 1: were kind enough to provide a radio edit, so appreciate that.

27:45 Speaker 1: But no, this is another great track. I really love

27:47 Speaker 1: this a lot. If you are just joining us, we

27:49 Speaker 1: have the forest Frigets here with us live in studio,

27:51 Speaker 1: and here's another track from their new EP. And this

27:54 Speaker 1: track is called dist a great check it out.

32:31 Speaker 14: Nothing nothing, We'll erase this end.

32:35 Speaker 4: And never never what of fo.

32:44 Speaker 1: Mm hmmm that is disintegrate And the band is The

32:48 Speaker 1: Forest Forgets, and we have The Forest Forgets here with

32:50 Speaker 1: us alive in studio and uh we're talking off air.

32:54 Speaker 1: Uh Griffin, you were saying that song has your favorite scream.

32:57 Speaker 5: On the ev in it Ye, that last one at

33:00 Speaker 5: the end of the high one. Yeah, it felt very

33:02 Speaker 5: Chino Deaftnes kind of. Yeah, those whistle note screams he does. Yeah,

33:05 Speaker 5: it's just satisfying.

33:06 Speaker 1: I'm always impressed by that when I hear a vocalist

33:09 Speaker 1: who can do that. Do you do anything to kind

33:11 Speaker 1: of like, do you have to do anything to really

33:13 Speaker 1: take care of your throat to pull that off without,

33:16 Speaker 1: you know, without damaging your vocal cords? Like like like

33:19 Speaker 1: most people if they just said, oh, I'm gonna do that,

33:21 Speaker 1: you know, they'd end up, like, you know, harming their throat.

33:25 Speaker 5: How do you approach that technique and balance I guess,

33:28 Speaker 5: like balance of pressure and diaphragm and whatnot.

33:32 Speaker 1: Yeah, you just don't.

33:33 Speaker 5: You don't push that hard to get those sounds. Yea,

33:35 Speaker 5: it's more the technique and Mike the mic does a

33:39 Speaker 5: lot of the work. If I were to do that

33:40 Speaker 5: in the room, it would sound pretty different. Yeah, compression

33:43 Speaker 5: and everything. I think that's a big thing when, like,

33:45 Speaker 5: especially when I was first starting out, it was like,

33:47 Speaker 5: how do I get this to sound like that? Well,

33:49 Speaker 5: there's a lot of tricks that go into it, right,

33:51 Speaker 5: that big bands can do consistently that you can't really

33:54 Speaker 5: do in a basement in Nashua.

33:57 Speaker 10: Yeah.

33:57 Speaker 1: Yeah, so if you learn to do it correctly, you

34:00 Speaker 1: can do it without hurting yourself.

34:02 Speaker 5: And yeah, yeah, I mean any great technique you do

34:06 Speaker 5: something every day, you could have the best technique in

34:08 Speaker 5: the world. But like as far as I can tell,

34:10 Speaker 5: big bands that have to tour two hundred days out

34:12 Speaker 5: of the year, it doesn't really matter how good your

34:14 Speaker 5: technique is, because you're gonna get hurt after a while.

34:17 Speaker 5: It's gonna wear down.

34:19 Speaker 1: Right right, Yeah, no doubt, no doubt. Have you always?

34:23 Speaker 1: Has that always been your approach vocally to mix it,

34:26 Speaker 1: you know, the singing with the you know, the aggressive

34:28 Speaker 1: the screams and all that.

34:30 Speaker 5: I'd say, so, yeah, first, starting out, I didn't really

34:33 Speaker 5: know how to do anything. Yeah, and then I found

34:36 Speaker 5: bands like Tool and I was like, Okay, I'm gonna

34:38 Speaker 5: do that like bark Yell he does yeah. And I

34:41 Speaker 5: found Deftones. I'm like, that's cool. Yeah, I'm gonna start

34:43 Speaker 5: doing that. And then we've been listening to this band Sumac,

34:46 Speaker 5: which is uh, I don't know the band isis the

34:49 Speaker 5: band isis yeah right yeah, and Turner he does all

34:52 Speaker 5: the the low like false chord guttural stuff. Oh k,

34:55 Speaker 5: I'd have been on that kick, just kind of picked

34:57 Speaker 5: things I like and see if I can do them

34:59 Speaker 5: in my own way, I guess yeah.

35:00 Speaker 1: Yeah. Oh there's a song too that which was a

35:03 Speaker 1: song we played earlier that James, you do some some

35:06 Speaker 1: of the harmony, because I think we talked about that

35:08 Speaker 1: off air with Grace. Yeah, oh with Grace. Yeah. So

35:11 Speaker 1: you're on that too vocally with the.

35:13 Speaker 2: Last chorus, I kind of no, I'm in both yah

35:16 Speaker 2: yeah yeah, the last one it has that really hidden

35:19 Speaker 2: the third harmony in the last chorus.

35:21 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I kind of add some texture to it.

35:24 Speaker 1: Is that Is it just on that track? Is that

35:26 Speaker 1: the only one where you've got a vocal? Yes? Yeah?

35:28 Speaker 1: Will you be doing that live too? Like when when

35:30 Speaker 1: you guys play that live?

35:31 Speaker 4: Will you be?

35:32 Speaker 2: We've been feeling it out, uh in the practice space.

35:36 Speaker 2: I think we started doing that after we were in

35:39 Speaker 2: the studio, just to see how it would be. So

35:41 Speaker 2: there's a chance eventually that I might start doing some

35:45 Speaker 2: of the harmonies, even the harmonies that Griffin was doing.

35:47 Speaker 2: But that's a little touch and go right now. I

35:51 Speaker 2: don't know if we're going to end up there.

35:53 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, it might be tricky to pull off,

35:56 Speaker 1: but yeah, it's funny to you. Guys were talking about, uh,

35:59 Speaker 1: Morgan's storage. You have a practice space there, and it's funny.

36:05 Speaker 1: I was remembering the I was in some bands that

36:08 Speaker 1: had rehearsal space there and the pain of when you're

36:11 Speaker 1: trying to do something and you've got a band right

36:13 Speaker 1: next door who's very loud. And I was talking with

36:17 Speaker 1: I was there actually a couple of weeks ago. I

36:19 Speaker 1: went to meet with I don't know if you guys

36:21 Speaker 1: know the band day to attend, but I was in

36:23 Speaker 1: their practice space, and I swear it was so familiar

36:27 Speaker 1: that I think it might have been the same room,

36:30 Speaker 1: one of the rooms that I had there years ago.

36:32 Speaker 1: But yeah, they were talking about that too. How sometimes

36:34 Speaker 1: it's such a challenge because there's so many bands in there,

36:37 Speaker 1: you know, and if you've got somebody right next door

36:39 Speaker 1: to you who's loud or I mean, I know there's

36:43 Speaker 1: I don't know if there's any you know, if there's

36:45 Speaker 1: any recording studios currently in there. I know there has

36:47 Speaker 1: been in the past, and I don't even know. I

36:49 Speaker 1: don't even know how they managed to do it, even

36:51 Speaker 1: with a lot of soundproofing.

36:52 Speaker 3: You know, there's a lot of bands over there right now.

36:54 Speaker 3: I'd be surprised if anybody's trying to record anything.

36:57 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, no doubt, no doubt. Uh do you guys,

37:03 Speaker 1: I assume you rehearse on a pretty consistent basis because

37:06 Speaker 1: your music is you know, it's it's complex, it's not

37:09 Speaker 1: you know, it's not like a three chord thing that

37:11 Speaker 1: you can just pick up every you know, every few weeks, right,

37:14 Speaker 1: you guys must probably every week.

37:15 Speaker 5: I would think we for the past eight months we

37:18 Speaker 5: were doing three nights a week. Yeah, that's good, just

37:20 Speaker 5: to get the ball rolling.

37:22 Speaker 1: Yeah.

37:22 Speaker 5: Yeah, and with the EP out, we're dropping it down

37:24 Speaker 5: to two nights a week. Yeah, a long day on

37:26 Speaker 5: Sundays and yeah, two and a half hour thing on Wednesdays.

37:29 Speaker 4: Yeah, writing day and then like a rehearsing day, I guess.

37:33 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah yeah, because image I would imagine with what

37:36 Speaker 1: you're doing, if you take too much time off, it's

37:37 Speaker 1: probably hard to really.

37:39 Speaker 3: You know, Yeah, you don't want to lose Yeah, especially

37:42 Speaker 3: with the writing process. Yeah yeah, sure, you've got to

37:44 Speaker 3: be in that headspace consistently.

37:46 Speaker 1: Yeah, no doubt, no doubt. You guys do any covers

37:49 Speaker 1: or strictly original or when you when you are playing

37:52 Speaker 1: out on a regular basis, will you be doing strictly originals?

37:55 Speaker 2: Do you think?

37:55 Speaker 5: Or probably?

37:56 Speaker 4: I think strictly originals. We tried playing a couple of

37:59 Speaker 4: covers the first couple of practices when we first got together. Yeah,

38:05 Speaker 4: but I mean that was back in what November? That

38:08 Speaker 4: the last time we played a cover songs back in November.

38:10 Speaker 4: So yeah, I think it's gonna be all originals.

38:12 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, no, that's good. That's good. Before we run

38:15 Speaker 1: out of time, because I do want to make sure

38:17 Speaker 1: we get this last track. And let's see, we haven't

38:20 Speaker 1: played Chemo yet. And I'm curious to ask you too,

38:25 Speaker 1: because we're gonna play it with a name like that.

38:28 Speaker 1: Is there a story behind this?

38:29 Speaker 8: Uh?

38:30 Speaker 1: Behind the song?

38:34 Speaker 5: I read a couple of years ago that like every

38:39 Speaker 5: seven years, every cell on your body body has regenerated,

38:43 Speaker 5: so you're like not the same person. It's like that

38:44 Speaker 5: paradox of like the ship you replace, every board is

38:47 Speaker 5: at the same ship. Right, So if you've like been

38:50 Speaker 5: through experiences in the past that kind of leave a

38:52 Speaker 5: sour taste in your mouth, there's the reassurance that like

38:56 Speaker 5: there will be a version of you that hasn't been

38:58 Speaker 5: like touched interest.

39:00 Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, that's so, that's that's what the song is about.

39:04 Speaker 5: I'd say effectively.

39:05 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I've read that too. Actually, yeah that's interesting. Yeah,

39:09 Speaker 1: so we'll listen to that in a moment when we

39:11 Speaker 1: close out the segment. But uh, the other thing too.

39:13 Speaker 1: I want to make sure that people know where to

39:16 Speaker 1: find you guys online, where's the best place to go,

39:18 Speaker 1: how they can keep up with everything that you're doing,

39:20 Speaker 1: how they can get the music.

39:21 Speaker 10: This is?

39:30 Speaker 5: at the Music Connection in Manchester.

39:32 Speaker 1: Oh excellent.

39:34 Speaker 5: And I think we're going to get them over to

39:35 Speaker 5: bull Moose eventually because they have a new one and

39:38 Speaker 5: I don't remember where they just they closed the one

39:40 Speaker 5: and sale and they moved it to somewhere else.

39:42 Speaker 1: I was gonna say, yeah, they just moved right the

39:59 Speaker 2: we have, be Camp, Spotify, iTunes.

40:03 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I found Deezer by accident. I was googling one.

40:11 Speaker 10: You know.

40:12 Speaker 1: Every once in a while I'll just google Matt Conderton

40:14 Speaker 1: Unleashed to see if there's anything about the show, like

40:16 Speaker 1: if the show is Sometimes the show shows up places

40:19 Speaker 1: I don't know about. Yeah, that's literally how I found

40:21 Speaker 1: out about Deezer. I googled the show one day, and

40:26 Speaker 1: a link to Deezer pops up, and I'm like, oh,

40:28 Speaker 1: my show is on Deezer And I had no idea,

40:34 Speaker 1: but which is fine. It's great, you know, if somebody

40:37 Speaker 1: finds it that way. But yeah, but uh no, it's

40:40 Speaker 1: cool too that you're doing physical copies, because you know,

40:42 Speaker 1: not everyone does. Although I feel like lately most of

40:45 Speaker 1: the guests that we've had on do do physical copies.

40:48 Speaker 1: It seems like I feel like, maybe I don't know,

40:50 Speaker 1: five or six years ago, like there was a space

40:52 Speaker 1: a time where a lot of people were just kind

40:55 Speaker 1: of like, eh, do we really need to do physical copies?

40:57 Speaker 1: Everything's digital now, But I think it kind of came back,

41:00 Speaker 1: you know, people still like to have something they can,

41:03 Speaker 1: especially with I don't know if you guys have any

41:05 Speaker 1: plans to do vinyl in the future, but it seems

41:07 Speaker 1: like vinyl now a lot of a lot of our guests.

41:11 Speaker 1: It's it's expensive to do it, but they'll do vinyl,

41:14 Speaker 1: you know, which is really just for the diehards, because

41:16 Speaker 1: I think most people, if they buy vinyl, they probably

41:19 Speaker 1: never even open it. They just want to have it

41:21 Speaker 1: because if you really like, if you're a big fan

41:23 Speaker 1: of that artist, it's cool to have it. But you know,

41:25 Speaker 1: to actually have a record player and then open the

41:27 Speaker 1: vinyl up and put it on, it's probably not something

41:29 Speaker 1: people do, but but it's but it's.

41:31 Speaker 4: Cool to have the exception of that oh yeah record vinyl,

41:36 Speaker 4: Oh no kidding, yeah, night, just flipping through the oh

41:39 Speaker 4: no kidding, different things.

41:41 Speaker 1: Oh cool. Cool.

41:41 Speaker 4: I'd love to have a vinyl of our stuff, but

41:44 Speaker 4: as you said, it's ridiculously expensive. Oh yeah, yeah, maybe

41:48 Speaker 4: some day, yeah someday.

41:49 Speaker 10: Yeah.

41:50 Speaker 1: Yeah. You got to sell a lot of them to

41:51 Speaker 1: recoup the cost of it, that's for sure. Yeah, but

41:54 Speaker 1: uh no, But I think it's cool that you have

41:55 Speaker 1: a physical CD and I appreciate you bringing that in absolutely.

41:58 Speaker 1: We Actually we do have a CD player here. I

42:00 Speaker 1: never use it, but I think the only one that

42:03 Speaker 1: uses it is Rob as a veto. He does a

42:04 Speaker 1: show here on Friday nights at six called Granted State

42:07 Speaker 1: of Mind. I don't know if you know Rob. He

42:08 Speaker 1: also interviews local artists and but he actually uses the

42:11 Speaker 1: CD player. I think I used it once. It does work,

42:14 Speaker 1: but but I don't even have one. I don't have

42:18 Speaker 1: one at home. Well, right, Jenny, you don't have anything

42:20 Speaker 1: to play. I'm I'm my old Mac that will play CDs.

42:24 Speaker 2: That's the one we use.

42:25 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, but it's but it's good to have. It's

42:28 Speaker 1: good to have. And of course if you have an

42:29 Speaker 1: older car too. CD players still still exist in older vehicles,

42:35 Speaker 1: but so we will. And of course you guys are

42:39 Speaker 1: very easy to find if you google the forest for

42:41 Speaker 1: gats with content right right, which is good. Good to

42:46 Speaker 1: pick a name that you know you're not going to

42:47 Speaker 1: be fighting anybody over. No, but I really appreciate you

42:51 Speaker 1: guys coming in. We'll definitely have to do this again

42:54 Speaker 1: in the future, and thank you all four of you.

42:56 Speaker 1: And we will close out the segment with this another

43:00 Speaker 1: great track and the uh oh I should mention too

43:02 Speaker 1: the name of the EP of Wind and Willow. Any

43:05 Speaker 1: particular meaning of the name of the EP, by the way, No.

43:09 Speaker 5: It just felt like a cool visual. Yeah, you know,

43:10 Speaker 5: the sound of music when she's like standing in the

43:14 Speaker 5: grass and it's like a noll blowing.

43:15 Speaker 9: Yeah.

43:16 Speaker 5: Yeah, I guess in my mind it's where I wanted

43:18 Speaker 5: my grandparents to go.
