Forest Management Drops An Ambient Record Made From Debussy Vinyl

When Gossip Wolf covered Uptown experimental tape label Reserve Matinee last spring, it led to another discovery: Forest Management, the serene drone project of label cofounder John Daniel. Forest Management’s sprawling discography draws on a wide range of inspirations: one release manipulates recordings of church bells in the French Alps, while another uses glistening swells of synthesizer to recapture the feel of the Cleveland apartment house where Daniel grew up. On Friday, November 29, Forest Management drops a brand-new double LP, After Dark, on Jordan Reyes’s American Dreams imprint, and it’s easily the project’s most exquisite work yet—Reyes calls it a “turntable-sourced ambient record,” and it consists completely of sounds from a crackling vinyl copy of Claude Debussy’s La Mer. A limited edition of the double LP comes with custom-made lavender soap for an even more immersive experience!
