I, Absentee - Forrest

Forrest

On the heels of Dorosoto, Warren Kroll began exploring new sounds as Forrest. The project took ambient aspects into the forefront, with epic drones and spacey soundscapes. Forrest released his 'Summer Sounds Asleep' album on U-Cover in 2007 to critical acclaim. He then capped off the year with the follow-up 'Indiana Burn' 3" EP. In 2008, Warren brought his Forrest sounds to I, Absentee for a split with Moustache Mountain, limited to a mere 25 copies. 'Swepstone Songs' included artwork designed directly by Forrest, and continued his sound into new horizons. The release was picked up by U-Cover for an expanded version, featuring a new chapter, 'Dune' by Ontayso. Forrest resurfaced in 2009 with a new digital split with Moustache Mountain, entitled 'Sleeping Snakes'. He then capped off the year in memorable form with his 'Night Creature' EP collaboration with Boozhownd Doggonit. New Forrest recordings are currently in the works.
