详细介绍:

Of course the headline is that FOREVERANDEVERNOMORE is the first vocal-oriented album from Brian Eno in nearly 20 years. The last one, Another Day on Earth—which came more than two decades after its predecessor—was reasonably optimistic and exploratory, with lyrical themes that ranged from ambivalent to abstract (with the one notable exception of Bone Bomb), and very much in line with the sort of albums Eno was making the %2770s. FOREVERANDEVERNOMORE is not that kind of album.  While it%27s probably the only release in history to get the word nematodes sung in the first minute of play, what truly sets it apart is the unmoored grimness at its heart. Eno%27s ambient works have always had a measure of optimism; the very idea that music could be constructed purely to accentuate a space or modality—to be enjoyed while doing something else that%27s pleasurable or worthwhile—is, at its heart, a hopeful notion. Likewise, his pop material has inspired warm, abstract visions of weirdness that could be playful (The Fat Lady of Limbourg), loopy (King%27s Lead Hat), or simply magical (On Some Faraway Beach). Here, those modes combine into a selection of cuts that are technically vocal songs which are largely free of any of the standard trappings of songs. There%27s no percussion, very little foregrounded melody, and even less thematic resolution. Functionally, this is an ambient record that uses Eno%27s voice as another piece of material with which to build out a soundscape, one that is sincerely unhopeful. Included among the 10 tracks is There Were Bells, originally performed by Eno and his brother Roger at the Acropolis in 2021. Infused with literal ambience (in this case, birdsong recordings), Bells is a gentle, elegiac number that, when paired with album-opener Who Gives a Thought, focuses Eno%27s despair at the climate emergency into a mournful regret that we may be too far gone. By the time FOREVERANDEVERNOMORE closes out with the futuristic ephemerality of Making Gardens Out of Silence Eno has taken the listener into what ultimately sounds like the echoes at the end of the universe. Garden of Stars is probably one of the darkest, angriest pieces Eno has ever recorded, veering into a fatalistic cynicism that%27s honestly shocking, but delivered with resignation, rather than aggression. (Thankfully it%27s followed up with the placid instrumental Inclusion.) And while some cuts feel a little more traditional (or at least recognizable) in their approach—Icarus or Blériot feels like an homage to Harold Budd, with its warm aqueousness, and Sherry even has lyrics that follow the song%27s melody—the overarching mood and theme of FOREVERANDEVERNOMORE is funereal, despite, or perhaps because of, is beauty and elegance. © Jason Ferguson/Qobuz
