Foreverandevernomore

"These are songs rather than ambient pieces, and Eno's voice is deeper now and more commanding, even as it ripples with anger, regret - flashing like a chameleon's skin in flux. The gorgeous single We Let It In, which features vocals from daughter Darla, is a meditative jewel. It's stirring to hear Eno sing again - these songs feel personal, intimate and urgent".

"Album of the month" - "It's the end of the world as we know it... Eno returns to the vocal booth: In just the span of a pandemic, Brian appears to have renounced Mixing Colours' escapist tendencies, his agenda now not only more pressing but also grounded in reality ... Perhaps the most powerful weapon Eno now possesses is his still-underrated voice, which he employs here admirably to communicate the feelings at Foreverandevernomore's heart ... His velvet pipes and gracious harmonies, however, can't hide how, befitting its themes of imminent catastrophe, this is frequently uneasy listening ... Brian could have chosen to hector us, but instead reminds us of all we stand to lose while offering a flavour of our inevitably forthcoming grief. Certainly, the atmosphere's unnerving, almost bleak, but it's even more inspiring, and most of all poignant".

"Not a "protest album", Eno insists, but, rather, a necessarily sombre meditation on a world that is "changing at a super-rapid rate... large parts of it are disappearing for ever". As such, it is as timely as it is sobering and, in places, austerely, compellingly beautiful".
