£22.99 – 1xLP, Limited Edition Losers White Coloured Vinyl

‘The Longer This Goes On’ is a thrilling expansion of the vibrant, catchy, and forward-thinking sounds of their acclaimed 2018 self-titled album.

Each song is a glittering celebration of vocalist, Ava Trilling’s, urgent and intuitive lyrics and the band’s natural musical chemistry. Filled with spit-shined melodies, chiming vocal harmonies, and slinky, slanted rhythms, the album is more expansive than just a return to form. The band isn’t afraid to take the scenic route to a hook, layering instrumental flourishes to fill in the empty spaces, creating room for Trilling’s haunting range, or repeating a riff or a lyric until it becomes a Zen koan.

On ‘The Longer This Goes On’, Forth Wanderers sound more self-aware and self-assured than ever before. Just don’t call it a comeback. Forth Wanderers aren’t sure what’s next—they’re not sure if they’ll continue to record new music or if they’ll ever perform these songs live. These recordings, then, are ten fleeting yet invaluable impressions of the time spent as a band; rekindling of friendships between high school buddies whose dreams catapulted them into the spotlight before they were old enough to drive; songs that capture the uncertainty of the future as much as their music cements their own self-confidence in the present. On ‘The Longer This Goes On’, Forth Wanderers are making music on their own terms.
