be forest // earthbeat lp: our sunday best
Be Forest was born as a trio: guitarist, Nicola, was joined by Erica Terenzi on drums and vocals and Costanza Delle Rose on bass and vocals. For their forthcoming sophomore album, Earthbeat, the band gained the services of Lorenzo Badioli, who takes care of the new electronic parts of Be Forest’s sound. If with their debut Cold LP, their sound was characterized as “dark”, with Earthbeat the sun seems to have risen, brightening the Riviera. Be Forest’s melodies have always had a dreamy lightness as their striking feature, but now it is possible to feel a new warmth. Take for example the song Captured Heart, which echos intimate percussions and flutes, or Colours, that manages to combine an hypnotic progression with ethereal form, or again take the idyll of Hideaway, austere and romantic at the same time.
Stay tuned, Be Forest’s soon to be released Earthbeat LP drops February 4th via We Were Never Being Boring. Peace.
