While working on their 5th album (the “rock!” album), Fingerless have also been quietly chipping away at a 6th album—a much more experimental and soundscape influenced effort which has been given the title ‘And The Forest of Signs’. 

The first single from the album, ‘No Words Can Reach It’, was recorded in Marc Cheeseman’s home studio as part of this more experimental recording project.

The ‘And The Forest of Signs’ project is, at its core, a love letter to classic video game soundtracks and soundscapes. Games like ‘The Dig’ (1995, OST by Michael Land) and ‘The Neverhood’ (1996, OST by Terry Scott Taylor) have such incredibly immersive, evocative, and experimental music that does such a good job of extending and encapsulating the atmosphere and emotions of whatever scene you’re in during the game. And because these are games, not movies or some other medium, the music needs to be subtle enough so that it can be repeated over and over again until you leave/finish the level/area, to just fade into the background and be part of the experience—not the experience itself. Having said that, when you listen to these soundtracks as stand-alone albums they are absolutely awesome… There’s a whole landscape of classic albums out there that people rarely talk about—but they’re out there!

So for this album, then, the basic idea is that it’s a soundtrack for a video game that doesn’t exist (yet…?). But this idea is just a jumping-off point, it’s a way of thinking about the instrumentation, the song themes/lyrics, etc. Most of the music on the album would be way too distracting to be effective ambient background music for a real game—though, if anyone knows any game designers that are looking for a project…  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 

As the first single from this album, ‘No Words Can Reach It’ sets the tone for this new project. The track is a heady mix of distorted, cheap keyboards, chirping synths, smooth and hypnotic vocals, and big woozy beats. This track would probably fit towards the end of some sci-fi/fantasy-esque game where a planet is breaking into pieces and your job is to put the pieces back together like a big puzzle; or something like that!

The theme of the song is about trying to understand life and our lived reality. As we get older, do we really understand life more? Or do we understand it less than when we were younger? Do we merely become further and further embedded in our cultural/social games and practical activities that we lose some sort of juvenile, intuitive insight into what it really means to be here? Look, I’m having a bit of trouble explaining this properly. I’m not sure how to phrase the question adequately. I’m not even sure what the question is. No words can reach it…
