Forever [Ruby Red Vinyl] (LP)
Ekkstacy
Amoeba Review
Ekkstacy's exceptional Forever is a dreamy, wistful genre-bending album. The majority of songs clock in at under 3 minutes, endowing the album with a sort of experimental punk spirit. Rather than being rough and rowdy, however, the music is downbeat and hazy, blending elements of post-punk, indie rock, '80s college rock, and even emo rap. There's the occasional fierce guitar riff, with the sound leaning into a beautifully melancholic, languorous direction. Forever captures the odd pleasure of feeling downhearted.
