Originally hailing from Canada, and relocated to Denmark’s capital Copenhagen, The Forever Now has been on a thrilling sonic ride that’s seen them go from strength to strength with each artistic move. Stitching thrilling songwriting with indie rock, synth pop and singer-songwriter nuances all filtered through a theatrical lens, The Forever Now paints a vivid scene with each musical outing.
This genre-fluid approach, coupled with a strong DIY ethos, has endeared The Forever Now to a global audience, confirming their status as an exciting outfit with a unique vision. Drawing inspiration from varied sources, The Forever Now has often been likened to the likes of M83, The Naked And Famous, MGMT, Chvrches and Oh Wonder.
First making an entrance in 2016, they dropped their debut single “Last Day of the Year” which they’ve since followed up with a string of well-received singles and EP releases over the years. Last releasing music in 2022 with the single “Lover’s City” featuring Trine Lyngvig, The Forever Now makes a superb return with their brand new single titled “Grounded Satellites.”
This time linking up with UK-based singer-songwriter RAENE to craft an anthemic, synth-driven indie rock outing. Opened by the soft swell of a synth PAD and the delicate zap of spacey leads, pulsing bass notes and playful electronic flutters are joined by the rising snap of drums before launching into a burst of uplifting energy.
As the lead vocals glide in to thread storytelling lyricism via smooth melodies, the punch of drums keeps up the momentum before the song takes flight to deliver an epic chorus of where synths and guitars collide and RAENE’s elegant vocal backing overlaps with the leads to form a dazzling duet. Dropping down for the breakdown, the tension rises with the stab of bass notes and stuttering vocal lines before erupting into the last chorus, resulting in a memorable finale of charming synth indie rock.
Channelling the infectious aesthetic of artists like MGMT and with mixing handled by Aaron Short of The Naked and Famous, “Grounded Satellites” lays down an instantly addictive sound that marks a sensational return for this thrilling outfit. It’s a compelling new song from a band that sees The Forever Now continue to operate at the very highest level.
