Crayonsmith - Lost In The Forest

Midway upon the journey of our life, I found myself within a dark forest, for the straightforward pathway had been lost...

Sifting through some of the best releases over the coming weeks, Crayonsmith's Lost In The Forest jumps to the fore, as a propulsive, and synthetically cyclical voyage, which spirals quite favourably into a behemoth of bewilderment.


Taken from White Wonder, the forthcoming new album, Lost In The Forest seems a distinct change in direction from the highly acclaimed Stay Loose, which had brought us a lo-fi synergy of Pavement style twisted guitar melodies and moments of Sebadoh crunch, intertwined with the tenderness of Sparklehorse. None the less, it is quite the appetiser, and holds onto the signature lo-fi sensibilities and warmth. Whether it sets the tone for a more electronic White Wonder, time will soon tell, but for now we have a vibrant and exciting new single, from an artist whom has won many admirers over the past two years with Stay Loose. The single will be available as a digital download from March 7th. White Wonder follows on Out On A Limb in April, when we'll find out what it means to be lost in that forest... 9/10.
