forever ☆ "3 Series"

forever ☆ return with 3 Series, a three-track EP that fuses dreamy shoegaze with the kinetic intensity of drum and bass. The Kansas City duo meld lush, ethereal vocals reminiscent of My Bloody Valentine and Bowery Electric with syncopated breakbeats and jungle-inspired percussion, creating a sound that’s at once nostalgic and forward-thinking. Across just three tracks, the EP traverses hazy alternative rock, dense electronica, and euphoric rave energy with effortless sophistication.

Opening with “Rain Forever,” the EP sets the stage with glassy, manipulated guitar loops layered against whirring, mournful leads. “Your Angel Speaks” escalates the tension, combining distorted synth bass, frenetic breakbeats, and the soothing, ethereal delivery of Rachel Stang’s vocals. The EP culminates in “Shine Your Eyes,” a hypnotic, high-BPM journey blending ethereal synth repetitions with layered, phasing guitar lines and soaring melodic vocals—an homage to early Orbital and RAM Records-era drum and bass.

3 Series is a compact yet immersive listening experience, balancing atmospheric beauty with unrelenting energy. In its brevity, the EP leaves a lasting impression, inviting repeated spins and full-volume immersion—an audacious declaration of forever ☆’s visionary blend of alternative nostalgia and electronic innovation.
