We want all National Forest fans to know that the his new album is nearly complete, all the tracks have been recorded and mixing is underway - it is sounding fantastic.
The album will feature more vocals than his debut, spurred on by the success of the first album's critically acclaimed 'Folk' which featuring the first recorded outing for Stephen Fretwell, now of course having great success in his own right. We can confirm that the new album line-up includes Jake Fletcher of Grand transmitter, Amanda Mackinnon of BIS and Dan himself. Dan has recorded eighteen tracks and will choose twelve or thirteen for the album.
Neil of faith & hope says "This album is a real step up from the National Forest debut, with more up-tempo and vocal tracks than before but still interspersed with trademark National Forest instrumentals. It's also a lot more live sounding with live guitar and bass alongside bizarre Atari generated synths. And the vocal tracks are all great….. What more could you want!'.
