Twilight
Ken Andrews may have manufactured one of the best discs to come out of the modern melodic rock scene in years. In 2005, he was the producer, engineer and mixing professional on Mae’s, The Everglow. The overall sound of the record was breathtaking and the songs sparkle with an unending sheen. San Diego’s Future of Forestry certainly knew the wisdom of a music production genius such as Andrews. The quartet’s Credential Recordings’ debut, Twilight, is adorned with layers of sound, beautifully textured guitars, great bass playing that fills the low-end perfectly, and a drummer that dishes out shovelfuls of hard-driving intensity. “Open Wide,” the opening track, does what its title commands and kicks open the front door to the 12-song set with a Bloc Party-styled energy attack. “All I Want” is next in line and wanders through some esoteric sounds to arrive at a slamming chorus that hammers home a solid rock radio melody. The title track makes excellent use of electric piano tones, bassist Luke Floeter’s tasty bass chords, dreamy guitar work, ELO-ish backing vocals, and an excellent vocal performance from Eric Owyoung. “If You Find Her” is a departure from the rest of the record and is one of the best ballads to arrive onto disc in a long time. When Owyoung sings: “From this blessed morning, a love constant has been pouring.” In the tune, “Gazing,” one can see where he is coming from. With an album this engaging, powerful and uplifting, there is indeed a Love Constant behind it. [Credential] Chris Callaway
