RELEASE DATE

"In the wake of two landmark 2020 releases,
Elephant Tree
and
Lowrider
have seized the opportunity to redefine who they are and declare where their musical voyages will go next with the collaborative album
The Long Forever
, easily one of the most eagerly awaited split releases in the history of heavy rock. Like two timelines converging,
The Long Forever
finds both bands at critical junctures: each has a broad and expanding influence, each is revered onstage and off, and each is delivering its first proper new release in four years to tremendous anticipation. Bringing these bands onto a shared collaborative platter would be an event regardless of the surrounding circumstances, but the significance of this album is even greater. The album's title comes from the nickname for the multi-week coma that Elephant Tree singer/guitarist
Jack Townley
was in for medical reasons after a near-fatal biking accident in early 2023. Dreaming without waking and losing all sense of time as his mind attempted to cope with the ordeal, that lyrical description only hints at the enormity of Jack's experience. The year or so that followed manifested a musical freedom in both bands' respective approaches, Elephant Tree choosing a raw, set-up-the-mics-and-go approach during Jack's gradual return to playing, while Lowrider grew more complex and expressive in building songs to follow up their massively adored 2020 album
Refractions
.
The Long Forever
subverts and supersedes expectations, orbiting around a traumatic nexus as the gravitational singularity that bends and shapes every note that escapes forth. Perseverance, healing and stubbornness of passion made
The Long Forever
a reality, and fans of both Elephant Tree and Lowrider are certain to rejoice at the towering result!"
