Forest Swords Shares New Track
'Compassion' LP is scheduled for May 5 release via Ninja Tune.
Forest Swords (a.k.a Merseyside producer Matthew Barnes) has shared “Panic,” the third track to be lifted from forthcoming album Compassion, out May 5 via Ninja Tune.
The track journeys between a rumbling cello loop, chiming bells, and clattering beat, pulling in a reworked northern soul sample for the track’s ecstatic hook.
“Most of the tracks on Compassion were started in quite a heavy place but all managed to move towards the light the longer I worked on them,” says Matthew. ””Panic” is the point where tension and stress boils over into a sort of euphoria.”
