about

The second FORJ album release, and our first full studio album: Our Space explores the beautiful Welsh countryside, Yorkshire pubs by candlelight, the joyous and dirty side of a dog for a pet, thoughtful musings and cliched opposites amidst this collection of original compositions. We sought to prioritise our improvising freedom and explore interaction and communication within the studio environment.

Very special thanks to Joe, Josh and Nick, the unique musicians that make this band what it is. Particular thanks to Joe for the vast amount of his time and all he has done in mixing and mastering the music.

We are very grateful to Owain and Jodie for welcoming us to the amazing StudiOwz for a weekend and for making us feel so welcome in their home. Their generosity and homeliness has been integral in creating the perfect atmosphere to record this music.

Special thanks to incredible designer and creator David Stanley for his studio photography, videography and the huge amount of editing in creating all the video, design and digital content for this project.

Further thanks to Iza Korsak for her awesome photography skills and capturing the band at many sessions, both live and in the studio over the years.

Thanks to Arts Council England for supporting the creation of this music through their grant funding.

And a very special thanks to you, the listener, for supporting the band, without whom, it would not be possible.

We hope you enjoy the music.
