Beat Loop Tape 1

When everything alive dies it becomes a black ribbon in layers of earth
Then we dig it up just to burn it on the hearth

But these black flowers keep pushing up through the ground
I’m happy pushing them back down

Tall black bars to your wood sticks. White flowers, they just don’t exist
The road to your dream’s paved with gold, where all the houses have been sold

But these black towers keep pushing up through the ground
I’m happy pushing them back down

They say its money, but they want your energy
And you’ll give it up, you’ll give it up, you’ll give it up

My only footprint’s in the sound, but you’ll charge me pound for pound
And when the oil’s all run out, they’ll burn our bodies when we die out

But these black flowers keep pushing up through the ground
I’m happy, 
I hope you’re happy,
Pushing them back down


Black Flowers

Wake me

Here's Infinite London, the first taste of the sounds from the Infinite Music Machine, an app-based 'album' coming to the App Store in March. 

Here's the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HIgq-FPlugE

Go to Bandcamp for the single to purchase, including a bonus track / b-side "Super Singular".

"A hive, a warren of creativity, London remains a perpetual source of inspiration to those who live there.
After all, it's so dense, so sprawling, that it can often seem like London is - for all intents and purposes - the world itself.
Michael Forrest calls the city his home, using it as an interface to consume music. The artist's own productions fuse these influences into one unholy beast, matching the lurid IDM of, say Amon Tobin, with the glitch-hop of early Flying Lotus.
Throwing in slabs of indie's more cerebral side, Michael Forrest is set to release new single 'Infinite London' on February 10th.
A swarm of noise and texture, the video for the track rushes around London in a technicolor race to the finish." - Clash Music http://www.clashmusic.com/videos/premiere-michael-forrest-infinite-london

"Pleasingly intense and hypnotic stuff" - Guardian Music Blog http://guardianmusic.tumblr.com/post/75910906413/michael-forrests-infinite-london-in-march-uk

"Multi-instrumental production wizard Michael Forrest makes glitchy, atmospheric electronica that prods and pokes your brain in a very agreeable way." - TimeOut http://www.timeout.com/london/music/squares-michael-forrest-justin-paton

"Michael Forrest's 'Infinite London' swivels dangerously to and fro. Bionic jab after bionic jab, there are instances of melodiousness attempting to surface; sweet pastel shades pushed down by heavy metallic torrents which deliver a brisk suaveness that is quintessentially London.
The ambiance of the bustling city perfectly captured within the cool dynamic of the song, the outro is suddenly maniacal -- a reflection of the unsettling, luminous solitude of city life, but also the fortitude and addiction to drive that come with it. Indeed, Forrest is thoroughly self-aware. He brands his music as unmarketable pop, but its blatant defiance of the commercial is perhaps what propels him above the rest, producing a sound that is attention-grabbing, artistic and strong.
Michael Forrest: a name ready to bask in the warm glow of many a cold, industry-run city: New York, London, Paris, Tokyo...
That is, if the rest of his forthcoming record Infinite Music Machine is on par with the single. Primal, yet robotic; a straight-shooter with a tight structure."

This track was originally about a machine ("This machine has confidence / it's super singular") but I changed it to be about a girl instead. Sell out? ;)
