"Halloween but All Year," also known as its acronym "HBAY", is an album by Foreign Forest that, since its creation, has been sought after on vinyl. Now, after years of waiting, it is finally available!
HBAY was Foreign Forest's first entirely self-produced project, as an act to ensure his listeners that moving forward, music would be more personal. It features a foundation of heartfelt anthems such as Gravity, So What, Eyes Closed, & fan favorite Think Fast, while at the same time flowering with key features from his friends, Lund, and cøzybøy. Since its creation, HBAY has been a fruitful release for Forest. New listeners find it buried under new releases and consider it their favorite, while old listeners find themselves coming back due to the nostalgia this album creates.
Every song is a story within a story, describing Forest's thoughts and experiences directly to the listener, who is in the middle of their own life's story. It is no wonder fans have built such a personal affinity with this project, as it is undoubtedly some of his most creative work.
Featuring Foreign Forest's signature on the label, only approved for this small release, fans can be sure that this project was made with love.
Foreign Forest is a singer/producer from California. Since 2014, he's been releasing albums annually, pulling in fans from all over the world with releases emanating the spirit of Halloween, encouraging listeners to "take their masks off" and be themselves. Pairing relaxing melodies with introspective lyrics, Forest (with the help of his friends) has created an eccentric discography appealing to fans of similar musicians, such as Coldplay, Washed Out, and The Killers.
