Forest Swords deals in emotive and atmospheric sonics, which is what he leans into with today’s Sunday Mix – providing a suitably downtempo, cosy listen befitting of the current shift in seasons we’re going through.
The mix – which comes ahead of a string of tour dates across the US and Canada this summer – “is a collection of tracks that’s been soothing my brain these past couple of months”, Matthew Barnes – aka Forest Swords – tells us. “Mostly percussive, warm, with a touch of seasonal affective disorder. Given some of the slower tempos I wanted to let these songs breathe as much as possible, and make it sound like a big exhale into chilly winter air”. Press play for a blissfully cathartic sonic respite.
