Forth Wanderers - The Longer This Goes on [Milky Clear] Vinyl Record

Forth Wanderers return with The Longer This Goes On, their first album in seven years—though the band insists this isn’t a comeback.

Pressed on limited Loser Edition milky clear vinyl, this release captures a group reconnecting without the pressures that once surrounded them, focusing instead on making music that feels natural, unburdened, and present.

The ten tracks here are built around Ava Trilling’s vivid, intuitive lyricism and the band’s effortless chemistry. Spit-shined melodies, chiming harmonies, and slanted rhythms weave together into intricate indie pop gems. The songs aren’t afraid to meander toward a hook, repeating riffs or refrains until they become hypnotic, and filling empty spaces with delicate instrumental flourishes. It’s a sound that feels expansive, confident, and unmistakably theirs.

Reuniting in 2021, guitarist Ben Guterl, bassist Noah Schifrin, guitarist Duke Greene, drummer Zach Lorelli, and Trilling approached writing collaboratively for the first time. Produced by Dan Howard, the sessions captured the spontaneity of creating in real time, resulting in tracks that are both deeply personal and universally relatable.

Whether or not the band records again, The Longer This Goes On stands as a snapshot of rekindled friendships, hard-earned self-assurance, and romantic uncertainty. It’s Forth Wanderers making music entirely on their own terms—clear-eyed, unhurried, and fully present.
