FOREVERANDEVERNOMORE, the new album from Grammy-winning musician and producer Brian Eno is out now on Verve/UMC—listen here. The self-produced, 10-track record is Eno’s first studio album in six years. Fans can enjoy the album featuring visuals by long-time collaborator, Nick Robertson.
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.”
Two singles preceded today’s release, most recently “We Let It In” featuring his daughter and vocal counterpart Darla Eno, and “There Were Bells”—praised as “an emotional commentary on the global climate emergency” by Consequence.
In addition to the artist’s daughter, Darla Eno, and niece, Cecily Eno, FOREVERANDEVERNOMORE features contributions from Leo Abrahams, Roger Eno, Peter Chilvers, Clodagh Simonds, and Jon Hopkins. It is available on CD, vinyl and digital formats.
Eno is a pioneer of spatial audio with experiments and audio installations stretching back over the past forty years. He crafted these new recordings with three-dimensional sound in mind. The album includes studio recordings of two tracks, “There Are Bells” and “Garden of Stars.” It also includes “Making gardens out of silence in the uncanny valley” which features as part of the ongoing Serpentine interdisciplinary program, BACK TO EARTH, working to address the ongoing climate emergency.
