Forester
Los Angeles-based indie electronic duo, David Parris and Xander Carlson, make lush soundscapes both inspired by and evocative of views from a mountain, deep pink sunsets and stars on a clear night. The longtime friends launched the Forester project in 2019, working nine-to-five gigs and making music at night. They achieved immediate success with their debut single “Spark” – a deep exhale of a track that was picked up by independent label Lowly Palace and which has since collected more than 7 million total streams. The song also caught the ear of Kygo’s Palm Tree Records, where Forester signed in 2020. The Forester catalog now encompasses three albums: 2019’s Kerosene, 2020’s A Range Of Light and 2022’s Watercolor. Recording at locations including a cabin high in California’s Sierra Nevada Mountains, these LPs have collected an incredible 72.7 million global streams, in addition to a growing fanbase made up of both longstanding dance fans and scene newcomers. Forester has played this music for tens of thousands of fans at festivals like Outsidelands and as the opener for Kygo at massive stadium shows in Oslo and Mexico City. A pillar of the project is the preservation of the nature that’s inspired Forester, with the guys donating a portion of the revenue from their debut album to The Nature Conservancy. “The Forester project is ultimately a conservation project,” says Carlson. “We want to spread the word that our planet is awesome and irreplaceable”.
