Affections

Los Angeles' Small Forward create breezy indie pop that's both soothing and gentle, heavy on mood and expansive textures. There are retro psych sensibilities in the band's use of harmony and their pinches of reverb, but the band's sophomore album, Affections, is resolutely modern in it's production and sonic detail. Due out October 27th via Forged Artifacts, the record is filled with nuance and crooning melodies, blending together fuzzy folk and jangly pop with a natural patience.
