SAM FORREST
Over the course of his ten year career, Sam Forrest has toured the world as frontman of sludge-rockers Nine Black Alps, released four solo albums, played guitar in fuzz-pop duo The Sorry Kisses and set up his own record label Desert Mine Music. His latest release, Silo EP, sees him combining the lo-fi sonics of his solo albums with the blown-out distortion of his band Nine Black Alps. Recorded in his North Yorkshire studio, The Factory Of Unprofessional Sound, the EP is the heaviest addition to his ever-growing solo collection. These include 2008's Neil Young-influenced Down The Hillside, 2009's pastoral Paper Crown, 2010's feedback-drenched No Imagination and this year's The Edge Of Nowhere which refined his brand of semi-acoustic neo-psychedelia.
COLLABORATION
Sam Forrest kindly made himself available for the next round of recording. As birds sang and bees buzzed outside his 'Factory Of Unprofessional Sound' much of the next layer of sound was recorded. Sam contributed many production ideas to the album, lending voice, piano and mouth organ into the bargain.
