Recorded and mixed by Ron DiSilvestro at Forge Recording.
“You You Dark Forest –these lads can raise the bar above all climates. This intense atmospheric post-rock instrumental band out of Reading, PA transfixes audiences into a musical balloon ride with no landings. In true form from, being from Reading, this band will railroad their way through instrumental laboring that even that person in the kitchen with Dinah would be proud of…” -RVAmag
“Encaustically shaping new ideas, You You Dark Forest, is echoic in theme and is quite progressive. The single, Arms of the Earth, starts with a slow build-up of tense Post-rock and in ecdysis changes direction to a more heavy, off time, hypnotic energy. The instrumental composition articulates falling and catching yourself, something most simple people call walking. The runs and melodies on guitar capture the listener in an extraneous realm. The Drummer, Mark Giambrone shows us all the possibilities one song can bring forth. What I love about this band, is that even though it changes a lot, it seems to never change at all. That is the secret and stand out point I want to make with this band. So much work went into this single that one can take this as a guilty pleasure and only imagine what will come next with the full length album! ” -SPREAD
