    ..."I can honestly say he [Dolphin Mouth] gave me a real challenge when attempting to write about FOREST MAGIC’s sound. The first track, “SONAR SWELL” screams post-rock, but following track, “RETURN STROLL”, breaks into crazy math-folk beats . Eventually they go back to a post-rock theme but it never stays constant, which makes this an interesting album. It’s spontaneous and ever-changing, but it’s never done in a bad way that bothers you, more a way that excites your ears. The stand-out track for me was “DESIGNED”, with its building guitar tones and exceptionally beautiful strings arrangement. FOREST MAGIC can’t seem to find a sound, but that’s exactly what makes them unique. Whether going from folk, to math-rock, to psych-pop, to post-rock, they sound comfortable in any of the music they are making."

SONAR SWELL 03:30
Last night, we were blown. Dark skies, please leave us alone.
2.
Here we are Legendre, we are home. Even though, we've been to distant shores, we still know where we came from. We've returned, and now we're home, and we know that the end of man is to know. We take a stroll, we take a stroll, down the pathway to your favorite hiding place. And once we're there, I'll stroke your pretty hairs, and we will laugh all the day long.

O 02:00
O how I love this place, I wrap a yellow scarf around my baby's face. I love to work upon the trails, I get that dirt underneath my nails. And when it's time to go to bed, my baby comes up to pet my head. O And when we wake up in the mornin', all our friends are out explorin.' We work off love and good nutrition, we take our time with our decisions. Timelessness in in our favor. We could do it now, or maybe later. O We try to ward off indescretions. We battle fights with mindful questions. We try to live our lives more simply than those who stay inside the city. And even with our dirty knees, we love our lives our families. Say, O

DESIGNED 05:14
Ease your mind, and sit back, relax, forget you're right here. The stars seem to align in your favor, and maybe, they'll favor mine. The night sky with it's beautiful light encourages us to elevate. Are the stars designed? Or are they sneezed out randomly?

TEETH 03:49
My teeth, my teeth go chomp chomp chomp...

WONDER IF 05:39
Every night I go into my room And I wonder what ever happened to you Could it be that you are far away? Or do I almost pass by you every day? I just lie there thinking of our younger ways When we would sit there and we would talk oh yeah, we would say: Where do you think you'll be in ten years? I don't know I just don't wann be sheddin' no tears. I wonder if you know I think of you Is it possible that you might think of me? I wonder if you know And what would even happen if we every met again My face would seem as though it had a permanent grin We could sit around and talk and laugh and drink and play We could maybe fall in love that day I wonder if you know I think of you Is it possible that you might think of me? I wonder if you know

FLASHLIGHT 02:48
I just want to know where you'll be Took my flashlight looking for you Out amongst the leaves It's way too cold to be out here And there's creatures creepin' everywhere Oh, lord declare it to be true That I might find a piece of you

FAMILY 03:08

BACK WHEN... 05:30
We once were new We came back for you Growth and we're taught Now we must choose We once were new We came back for you Truth and we're taught Now we must choose
11.
IT IS GOOD 03:54
When the wire touches wood Time goes in reverse When bare feet meet the ground What we see become sound When that sound enters ears Music's written by our tears Oh, it is good Oh, it is good
