Originally formed in 1995 by sole songwriter, vocalist, and core studio musician/producer Joshua Heinrich, fornever's genre-bending, ever-evolving-yet-uniquely-identifiable sound is the product of relentless reinvention. From the moody, stark, ..17 Seconds..-meets-..Pornography..-era Cure-esque vibe of 1999's ..Pale.. to the acclaimed diverse alt rock of 2005's ..ghosthouse.. and the indie rock/shoegazer/dream pop/electro hybrid of the band's more recent material, fornever's sound is a blend of innate pop sensibilities, sonic experimentation, and a penchant for melancholia. Combined with intelligent lyrics, running the gamut from introspection to witty social/political sarcasm, fornever's work has found a home among an ever-growing international fanbase, repeatedly earning critical acclaim as well as literally dozens of high-charting singles on a number of high-profile internet music sites (including numerous stints at the top of mp3.com's coveted genre charts during the site's heyday). Fornever's latest full-length album, ((echo)), was released in August 2011.
