Brian Eno released his latest studio album FOREVERANDEVERNOMORE in October 2022. It quickly garnered praise from critics and was a distinct departure from recent Eno albums, featuring his vocals as the primary focus across an entire album for the first time since 2005’s Another Day On Earth.
With FOREVER VOICELESS, he has removed the voice, moving the focus back onto the core music for this special Record Store Day release.
Eno experimented with tonal over major chord changes for the original album that was at times choral and hymnal, sometimes apocalyptic and then hauntingly beautiful. These instrumentals reveal the starkly dramatic and delicate tones that set these shifting moods. The album’s theme, a reaction to the ongoing climate emergency, is now laid out clearly in this hypnotic, sonic landscape.
He noted that, as an artist, he creates sonic worlds, only this time, these were landscapes with humans in them. With the voice removed, these tracks are once again placed so that we can travel to them.
FOREVER VOICELESS will be available on crystal clear vinyl exclusively for Record Store Day and selected digital platforms.
The recordings were written and produced at Eno’s West London and Norfolk studios and are available HERE.
