Engravings

by Forest Swords

Engravings cover art

Forest Swords' 'Engravings' is a unique fusion of dub textures, hip-hop rhythms, and ancient, weathered atmospherics. Matthew Barnes mixes chopped vocal samples, rattling percussion, and melancholic guitar lines to create a sound that feels excavated from the earth. The album evokes the misty landscapes of the Wirral peninsula, balancing modern production with a primal, mystical mood.
