Forever Halloween

The Maine

Recorded live to tape in Nashville, this record trades pop-punk polish for raw, analog grit. A somber, mid-tempo exploration of adulthood and self-doubt.

It's the record where they stopped trying to be pop stars and started being a real-deal rock band.

A heavy, unvarnished exploration of adulthood that feels like a cold autumn evening.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The stark, devastating simplicity of the piano and vocal-only delivery on These Four Words.
The gritty, live-room energy of the drum fill opening Take What You Can Carry.
The slow-burning, psychedelic sprawl of the title track as it closes the record.
