Hello.
We like it when people send us messages. Feel free to add us, but it would be nice if you stroke our egos first. It's only polite, and there's a greater chance of us actually accepting your advances. We're slightly old fashioned like that.
We hope you like our tunes. If you do, take the time to tell your friends, or at least join our mailing list, which you can do by following this link and entering your email address . Simple, eh!
Love, The A Forest xx
BIOGRAPHY
The A Forest are Cat, Chris, Eilidh, Ewan, George and Michael who between them play voice, bass, cello, drums, guitar, synth, groovebox, percussion and melodica.
We have played with some lovely bands, made some lovely friends and some of us are even getting married to each oter. Aren't civil parterships great!
Our debut single was a split 7" with Mercury Tilt Switch, released in the UK on September 2004 on Glasgow's Too Many Fireworks records. Our debut album is due for release in the Autumn on Pet Piranha Records. We've mixed it!
The A Forest have been told they sound "twinkly" and "sleepy", and were very pleased to be told that they sound like "Low having sex with Yo La Tengo and giving birth to Broadcast".
QUOTES

Drowned in Sound
"simply a magnificent soundscape...it feels like a long time since a band from Scotland has created something so lovely in this genre"
Stayfun
"a gorgeous vocal, stuttering drums, twinkly things, lilting and sad. a band that sticks out a mile from their local contemporaries; music for films and sweet dreams."
Blowgun
"vocal lines that Elizabeth Fraser would kill for"
Friends Of The Heroes
"a rather fine tune"
