Praise for FOREVERANDEVERNOMORE:
“If this turns out to be our planet’s bittersweet requiem, we’ll have only ourselves to blame. At least we’ll go down singing these strange, haunting elegies. Foreverandever? Amen.” - 9/10, Uncut
“FOREVERANDEVERNOMORE is not a ‘protest album’, Eno insists, but rather, a necessarily sombre meditation on a world that is “changing at a super-rapid rate….large parts of it are disappearing for ever.’ As such, it is as timely as it is sobering and, in places, austerely, compellingly beautiful.” - ****, Mojo
“It’s a safe musical harbor from the hustle and bustle of everyday life that serves, like a cathedral, to draw us out of the mundane and into the realm of the transcendent.” - Riff
14 OCTOBER 2022 (TORONTO, ON) - Brian Eno releases his latest studio album FOREVERANDEVERNOMORE today (October 14) on vinyl, CD, digital formats and Dolby Atmos Blu-ray (Super Deluxe Edition exclusive). The record was made at his studios in West London and Norfolk and is available HERE.
From today, fans can enjoy the album featuring visuals by long-time collaborator, Nick Robertson, streaming on Youtube HERE.
A song-based album, Brian’s vocals are featured on the majority of the 10 tracks, which makes it a first since 2005’s "Another Day On Earth". On FOREVERANDEVERNOMORE Brian experimented using tonal over major chord changes: “My voice has changed, it’s lowered, it’s become a different personality I can sing from. I don’t want to sing like a teenager, it can be melancholic, a bit regretful. As for writing songs again - it’s more landscapes, but this time with humans in them.”
“I like creating worlds, that's what I do as an artist, creating sonic worlds. Now after quite a long absence of humans in those worlds I have tried putting one in and seeing how they feel in the world I've made." Brian Eno
The record is at times choral and hymnal, sometimes apocalyptic and then hauntingly beautiful; you can watch two tracks from the album, ‘We Let It In’ (WATCH) and 'There Were Bells’ (WATCH) here.
A limited-edition version Blu-ray in Dolby Atmos & HD is available worldwide as part of the Super Deluxe Edition Surround Series.
