About Me

The Forms hail from the New York and've released two albums, known as: The Forms and Icarus. Speak, ye critiques:
The Forms"With our highest endorsement. In honesty, we've spun this record so much we've listened ourselves into a corner." -Stereogum

"Band to watch in 2008. The Forms just don't sound quite like anyone else." -Alternative Press

"This is music that wakes me from my embattled-music-writer stupor." -Entertainment Weekly

"Layers of towering melody with a touch of psychedelia." -Spin

"The Forms' follow-up to Icarus is only 30 minutes long, but it's hard to imagine a better way of spending the time." -Drowned In Sound
Icarus"8.5 - A mellifluous, wonderfully well-integrated sonic attack." -Pitchfork

"One of the best albums of the year. The Forms, with their stunning debut effort, Icarus, are one of the most exciting, in not one of the best, new acts in indie rock right now." -Popmatters

"It's refreshing when a band comes out of nowhere and absolutely blows your socks off." -Exclaim!

"One half hour you will never forget, possibly one that will change you forever." -Heckler Magazine
