“I’m OBSESSED with this album”

“Amazing, amazing”

“So, so good it hurts…”

“Are the tunes any good? Fucking yes indeed they are, crikey this is a terrific album.”

“Jetez-vous vite sur “Survival” le nouvel album du groupe de Brooklyn Forest Fire (sorti chez Catbird Records), c’est une petite merveille de folk-rock sombre et mélancolique, et assurément un des meilleurs disque du moment.”

“A feverish daydream that creeps and crawls around in detritus of country—pedal steels and twanged choruses—and the gritty scorch of the desert—with distant howls and blinding sunbeams…”

“Languid, beautiful songs.”

“Captivating… I just can’t seem to tear myself away from it.”

“Survival is an impressive little weird-folk record with several striking highlights.”

“Modest yet heartfelt, pastoral charm-rockers that blend day and night with a smooth southern edge. Perfect for hot summer days, long lonely nights, and everything in between.”

“Forlorn vocals, plodding basslines, smokey harmonies, and buzzing electric guitars. Amps with bad grounds, drumsticks that are about to split in half, old sparkly snares with cracked shells, hardwood floors with uniedentifiable stains.”

“This is the sound of riding home after a relaxing summer night. You’re all alone, windows down, slow heart, no mistakes. Traffic’s not bad and the air’s just right. But still, you’re driving, which isn’t ideal. Thus the slightly dissonant harmonies that creep in at the end, with that beautiful buzzing guitar that hovers like bad posture in the background.”

“This record might be one of the more interesting things to happen to country music since Uncle Tupelo gave the world No Depression in 1990. Which means, of course, that the record isn’t really even country. It’s more like sparse, low-fi, rock music that has enough space in it to come off as a bit haunting.”

“Just the kind of loose, ramshackle rock I can get behind”

“Knowing nothing about the band prior to today… I am very impressed.”
