Jesse Sykes & The Sweet Hereafter return with Forever, I've Been Being Born, a contemplative journey through themes of mortality and acceptance that showcases the band's evolution toward a more stripped-back, intimate sound. This 2025 release finds Sykes exploring desert psychedelia with her signature gossamer-light vocals, creating what feels like "very much like a eulogy" - a collection that guides listeners through darker territories with calm assurance.
This Record Store Day Black Friday exclusive pressing on opaque blue vinyl is limited to just 1300 copies, making it a must-have for collectors of Sykes' atmospheric folk-rock. The album features standout tracks like "Winter's Empty Pages" with its captivating guitar and organ interplay, plus a collaboration with fellow gothic ponderer Marissa Nadler on "Gentle Chaperone," showcasing the clear-toned production and mortality-tinged songwriting that defines this compelling work.
