Debut 12" vinyl out 2015 on Porch Party Records.
(cassette on Burger Records!)

members:
Daniel Michicoff(Tijuana Panthers)
Maust (Cold War Kids)
Joe Plummer (The Shins / Cold War kids)

Dan Michicoff of the Tijuana Panthers started writing and recording songs in his Los Angeles apartment. The project grew to include Matt Maust of Cold War Kids on bass and visuals, and also the voices of Robyn Roth and Naomi Greene. Michicoff and Maust then made their way up to Seattle for tracking at Joe Plummer’s studio La Puebla. Plummer of Cold War Kids and The Shins donned two caps as drummer and engineer of the sessions. Finally, they handed the mixed bag of home and studio recordings off to Yukki Matthews of The Shins for mixing. The resulting bouquet is the parti-colored Late Bloomers’ Bloomers.

Forest of Tongue was founded during a Long Beach summer when singer-songwriter/guitar-shredder Joel Jasper connected with blitzy drummer Zach Mabry and invented their flavor of thrashy loop rock. Joel Jasper embraced his looping pedal as a tool to fill his punchy melodic songs with layered guitars and keyboards. During performances, Jasper looped the textured elements on the spot alongside the innovative and precisely-percussive drumming of Mabry, developing an impressively large sound for two sonically-experimental teenagers.

Since 2008, Forest of Tongue has been performing across Long Beach and Los Angeles at established venues, house shows, warehouses, underground parking garages, and other unique spaces. With the same DIY-punk spirit, they spent early 2012 self-recording their first album Body Pains. In March 2012, they self-released the album in a packed out performance at (what would later become) Porch Party Records.

In the summer of 2014, after a brief hiatus due to other music projects, Forest of Tongue reunited. In a fit of inspiration, exploding from the intense stress of a bug infested household, Jasper and Mabry wrote a completely new batch of sticky songs in under 3 weeks- unintentionally creating the gummy backdrop of the new full-length Fancy Itch.

The weekend after writing the new songs, Forest of Tongue played the album live in its entirety at the legendary Long Beach venue Alex’s Bar. Shortly after, the band met up with producer, engineer, and multi-instrumentalist J.P. Bendzinski (Crystal Antlers, DeLux) to record the album. After one long sweaty weekend in Bendzinski’s living room and garage, the core of the songs were finished.

Bendzinski hustled in his studio mixing and mastering in the months to follow. While hearing the record on continuous repeat, Bendzinski felt the itch- his love for their unconventional sound made him want to join the band as a permanent member. Bendzinski adding bass opened up a new spectrum of dynamic range for Forest of Tongue. After a year of molding these candyland recordings, drenched in the full sound that they deserve, the songs are ready to be experienced in their entirety as Fancy Itch. Born from influences such as Deerhoof, Animal Collective, and Sonic Youth, Forest of Tongue is screeching beautifully into a dark chocolate world of gumdrop thrash-pop.
