What’s This Called? with Forrest Friends, Live!
(Featuring the woodland drone of Forrest Friends, Live!.)
Woah. When I sit down to do radio lately, one would think that I’m merely teaming up with Ricardo Wang to bring you yet another incredible band on What’s This Called? What can I say? We make a good team, and as co-host, it has been pretty nice to get to meet all of these incredible artists lately, and bring their sound to you as best we can. This week, of course, was no exception, as we were fortunately enough to host the outdoor audio of Forrest Friends, a pair of noisy furries with a set of strange and wonderful sounds guaranteed to mesmerize you.
Clear you mind. Imagine you are camping, and the sun is low in the sky. You decide to grab your flask, and go for a walk, sticking to the trail at first, but eventually finding the urge to wander off toward the sun. As you get further into the trees, you hear a sound, and as you follow it, you begin to make out the sounds of several species of small furry animals, gathered in a clearing, grooving to the sounds of drones, percussion, woodwinds, and other magnificent sounds. You inch your way closer… not too close, as you’re not quite sure what to expect. But as the evening slowly descends, you realize that these sounds are exactly what you want to be – need to be – hearing.
That is the sound of Forrest Friends.
Enjoy!
