Future of Forestry is a band from California started by singer/songwriter Eric Owyoung. Having been a fan of deep rich lyrics and outside – the -box composing, I have just reveled in his writing. This group has been one deeply overlooked by the music industry because the music is not real radio friendly. Having said that, I assure you that it is music for the more musically interested and maybe not so much for the pop lover. Intricate harmonies, melodies mixed with unique rhythms, makes this a musicians favorite. Rich beautiful lyrics makes this passion food for the romanticist and daydreamer alike. Now this might sound like a contradiction to what you might think Christian music should be. While the likelihood of one of Eric Owyoung’s songs showing up in worship service is remote, I do very much know that God is reflected in the lyrics.
The 2007 release called “Twilight” is one of my all time favorites to listen too. So here is my advise, like it or not, find some down time, pour yourself a cup of your favorite beverage, go to your favorite chair with a blanket and play these 2 ep’s from Future of Forestry, Travel I and II. Then once your hooked, you will be ready for Travel III to be released in July 2010.
