Chris Forsyth Announces New Album ‘Evolution Here We Come’ & Shares Single

Chris Forsyth will issue a new album, Evolution Here We Come, via No Quarter on August 26. The Philadelphia-based guitarist also shared the single, “Experimental & Professional.”

The seven-track Evolution Here We Come is the follow-up to Forsyth’s 2019 LP, All Time Present. Chris captured the new record in Richmond, Virginia with a core group of musicians including bassist Doug McCombs (Tortoise), drummer Ryan Jewell (Ryley Walker) and guitarist Tom Malach (Garcia Peoples). Bill Nace (Body/Head), Steve Wynn (The Dream Syndicate), Linda Pitmon (Baseball Project), Marshall Allen (Sun Ra Arkestra), Nick Millevoi and Dave Harrington (Darkside) also contributed to the album.

Forsyth co-produced Evolution Here we Come with Harrington, who is one half of the electronica duo Darkside. “I was hoping to make rock music whose surface reads something like electronic music,” Chris said on teaming up with Harrington. “I don’t pretend to know what the future holds, but, for better or worse, change is the only sure thing.”

Forsyth further detailed Evolution Here We Come, saying it’s “about change and our ultimate helplessness – as individuals, as artists, as societies – in the face of it. I think it represents a major shift in my work, and at the same time, it’s probably the most deeply rooted project I’ve done, blessed by the presence of friends and collaborators – each of whom has been an inspiration for me.”
