Description
Co-produced with Jim Eno of Spoon Forever Elsewhere is an upbeat and invigorating blast of rock guitar and irresistible hooks. It illustrates a clear departure from the lo-fi bedroom recordings of the Weird Nightmare debut LP and a big step forward into wide screen high-fidelity, shout-along anthems.
Edkins says about the song: Forever Elsewhere is the most optimistic song Ive written to date. I wanted to send an unequivocal positive message into the world. The line Love, it will come, summarizes the overall theme: if things feel hopeless and the world is bleak, dont give up, keep pushing. I like to think of it as a pep talk wrapped in fuzzy guitars.
I recorded with Seth Manchester (he engineered the last two METZ records) and Jim Eno (Spoon), and we tracked this one really quickly. Drummer Loel Campbell (Wintersleep) and Roddy Kuester (Julianna Riolino/Sadies) nailed it in 2 takes, and you can really hear the ramshackle energy in the song where the wheels almost fall off a couple of times. We tried to keep it loose.
