Glass Forest Revisits the Past in Melancholic “I Remember”

,
 

Based out of Vancouver, BC, Glass Forest is an indie-pop group that you need to get your ears on immediately. Comprised of Nick Owen, Abby Wale, and Stephen Clarke, Glass Forest crafts the loveliest melodies blended with emotive lyricism that’ll pull at your heartstrings. Although they’ve gained a solid reputation for otherworldly live shows, their limited discography is just as impressive. 

On “I Remember,” Glass Forest reflected,

“In writing ‘I Remember,’ we tried to be as open and honest as we could throughout the writing process, and it’s written about a sensitive subject (jealousy) from two different perspectives of our [Nick and Abby] past relationship. It’s not easy re-exposing old memories, nevermind sitting down in a studio with your ex and confronting past emotions. 

Unlike most songs, “I Remember” is told through two sets of eyes that have very distinct points of view. With an almost chilling element, the slow burning track hears the exes reminiscing about how they used to be. The music video features graceful dancers dressed in white between shots of Owen and Wale singing “I Remember.”

Glass Forest expanded,

“We are SO excited to get this one out. We couldn’t believe the number of talented people that took part in this video and feel so incredibly lucky that we got to share the creation of it with them.”

 

FFO The Paper Kites. - Glass Forest: To the Ocean

 

Glass Forest pairs ambient guitar swells, energetic bass, and electronic beats with atmospheric soundscapes. With a sense for melody that might remind you of The Paper Kites, the energy soothes, the harmony is effortless, and the sparse acoustic percussion pairs beautifully with a heartbeat kick-drum.

Crooning wistfully about living on love alone, we have access to the attractive simplicity of a dream that never ends. We might all do well to pause in the glow of this early crush, that moment when the future feels real and anything is possible. To the Ocean, the latest from Glass Forest, is the minimalist pop jam for lovers ready to fade into each other.

So say it again and tell me that you want me
and tell me one more time, 'cause
that's the only thing I want to hear
