I Forget Myself launches new rock album ‘Repine Forest’ in April 2023
Forget Myself Records is proud to announce the release of the much-anticipated full-length album Repine Forest by independent artist I Forget Myself, which will be available worldwide on Tuesday, the 11th of April, 2023. Singer-songwriter Dan, also known as I Forget Myself, has once again composed, performed, recorded, produced and collaborated with session drummer Kyle Reece Williams and studio mixing engineer Johan Heyns to bring you a new and powerful eleven-song work: the fifth album he has completed in just three years. Repine Forest’s alternative and unconventional rock feel features a pop sensibility that is influenced by a variety of genres ranging from indie to electronic music that has culminated in his most prolific, detailed and moving work to date.
I Forget Myself is a professional recording artist, singer and multi-instrumentalist with over two decades of musical experience in the industry: from extensively touring in bands for over ten years, opening for international acts, being signed to a major label in his native South Africa to being a student of an acclaimed internationally-renowned jazz bassist and teaching music himself for four years. Currently based in Hong Kong, he works as a teacher, is currently completing his second Master’s Degree in Education and believes that we should never stop learning – an ethos which is reflected by his compelling body of work to date.
I Forget Myself‘s songs have been streamed over 200 000 times on Spotify alone in his short career thus far. He is also an active online content creator and has uploaded 160 videos to his YouTube channel, which has garnered over 93 000 views, covering varied content from music to gaming and art. I Forget Myself is additionally an aspiring fiction writer who is working on his first novel. Currently based in the Asian world city of Hong Kong, he is rehearsing acoustic material and aims to make the live debut of this project later in 2023.
“ [a] blend of indie cool and alt-rock swagger, measured melody and near-metal muscle, infectious riffs and heavy hooks tell me that there is hope for rock and roll yet” – Dave Franklin, Dancing about Architecture“…he has created this body of work where he played all the instruments, wrote, and sang the lyrics and then recorded and produced it. I’m sure there is a lot more to come from this talented artist. If you enjoy bands like the Foo Fighters and Queens of the Stone Age, I’m sure you’ll enjoy this.
Rating 9/10”– Damian Sullivan, Maximum Volume Music“…the songs sweep majestically between Armageddon heavy, to moments of dark, aching eeriness. I Forget Myself is at his best when these elements are in balance, and the tension between these poles is the core of his identity.” – Tuneloud!
Number #1 on the ReverbNation charts for all genres in Hong Kong for four months, 2021
Repine Forest is now available on Spotify, Apple Music, iTunes, Amazon, YouTube, TikTok, Deezer, Bandcamp, iHeartRadio and many more popular global digital music platforms.
