Upon discovering I Forget Myself, we were instantly impressed by the sheer productivity the project seems to enjoy. Active since 2020, this rock-powered outfit – the solo project of a talented creative artist – can boast a whopping five albums to date, a clear sign that the inspiration is flowing in the right direction.
The latest of those records, ‘Repine Forest’, is also the subject matter of this article: a fierce and uplifting alt-rock album, it showcases the best I Forget Myself has to offer. Blending heavy distortion with industrial textures and electronic-based elements, the Hong-Kong-based singer and songwriter really manage to deliver pieces that feel unique, fresh and innovative, while keeping a foot firmly planted in the best rock tradition.
Over the course of eleven tracks, the listeners will familiarise themselves with ‘Repine Forest’, often characterized by saturated bass lines, virtuoso drum parts and the charming, evocative and haunting vocals of I Forget Myself. From all-out punchy bangers to more introspective and complex gems, the album often contrasts pure rock anthems with mellower slices of industrial grittiness. That’s why we appreciate the project: it’s not a dynamic entity, constantly shifting towards the best version of its artistry.
