Please Don't Disappear is the second full length studio album by Loud Forest. 

Thoughts on the album from the band:

This album was an exploration of new territory for us. We come from a very folky background. For this album we collaborated with our longtime friend, drummer and producer (Steve Wilmot) who challenged us to expand our palette. We discovered new forms and colors, and new ways of writing and crafting songs that brought a sharp focus to the skeletal structures of the songs themselves. We were challenged to write things that were more personal and were not shrouded by abstract poetic language that we tend to use, we tried to allow the songs to be understandable.  A huge part of this growth had to do with melody, exploring our voices, reaching out farther and expressing things in a way that is more extravagant than we are used to. The result for us is an album that is punchy, with vast splashes of color, almost like a room or space that is filled with floating colors and light, and right in the center of all that is our voices, stories of love, loss, fight for freedom and expression, independence, and friendship. 

Album Credits:

Band Bio:

The music of Loud Forest is an artistic, emotional approach to rock shot through with everything from alternative to folk to gospel to shoegaze. Add then tender lyricism and the clean fluidity of
modern pop production.
 
If Loud Forest’s music can be called pop, a four-letter word for artists after purity, it is only in its likeability, its warmth, its tidy edges. Here is then pop imbued with love and artisanship.
The love pours in from founders and mainstays, Bernard and Rachel Chadwick, a husband-and-wife duo. Theirs is an enviable creative relationship built around making more of themselves and the
world through their collaboration.
 
The art arrives from the band starting as an excuse to play gallery openings while Bernard was earning his MFA at ArtCenter College of Design in Pasadena, Calif. It was a way for rock to run into art
and art to run into rock, or, the exact purpose of their music.
 
Doused in indie credibility from years of self-releases, homemade microphones and hosting shows in their experimental art space in Pasadena, it is easy to call up like souls in their influences
Arcade Fire, The Pixies, Sonic Youth and Spoon.
 
The band’s recent incorporation of pop sensibilities comes from a partnership with co-writer and drummer, Steve Wilmot (OneRepublic), with support from their label, New York-based AntiFragile Music.
 
In their writing, Bernard comes in direct and minimal, Rachel abstract and experimental. The fusion of their individual sounds is then built out by a marauding group of likeminded family and friends
entering their space with voice and instrument to create the band’s often ruckus, danceable soundscapes.
 
The couple met in the cloud forests of Costa Rica as teens. Both were by chance visiting from their native California. Bernard played Rachel a song, Rachel tuned Bernard's guitar and Bernard tried the song again. Then came marriage, two daughters and always more music.
 
Loud Forest endures past pop’s usual events of finding the dream girl or losing that lover. As a couple who caught their love young, Bernard and Rachel sing what they know: leaning into the life-giving
challenges of a union, the sometimes resulting cravings of independence and the thousands of points in a relationship where courage and fidelity are called upon again sweetly by two powerful voices.

LOUD FOREST: BIO

The Los Angeles based band Loud Forest is fronted by married couple Bernard and Rachel Chadwick.  Equally matched as singers and performers, they craft an eclectic mix of songs that can both swirl and drive, loud minimal rock drums and ruckus melodic singing is supported by electric guitars, textures and noises that create a sonic landscape while infusing classic folk and gospel elements.  Songs on the forth-coming album range from moody shoe-gaze to grass-roots communal rock n’ roll. All the while giving a nod to personal influences such as Spoon, The Pixies, Arcade Fire and Sonic Youth.


Album Bio:
Bernard and Rachel have two completely different styles of song writing, Rachel is abstract and experimental, and Bernard is direct, minimal and angular. It is in the studio collaborating with other talented musicians, Alex Strahle, Carlen Walth, and Steve Wilmot that the pieces come together in a way that is a mix of rock, minimal art and elements of gospel.  Their studio is a creative project space in historic Pasadena where art events and music collaborations coexist, this makes for a studio that is always changing and influencing the forthcoming album in different ways.
