Foreverafter

Description

The self-titled, sole album by the American synth-pop band Foreverafter was released on Word Entertainment in 1999, manufactured and distributed by Word Music Group. The album was produced and recorded December 1998 – January 1999 by Dan Mukala of Mukala fame at the Playdough Factory in Nashville, Tennessee. Mixed by Phil Nicolo assisted by Dirk Grobelny at Studio 4 in Conshohocken, Pennsylvania.

Originally known as the marketing unfriendly moniker Underground Worship Sound, Foreverafter have been working with teenagers leading worship events in churches and schools across America for the last few years and their brand of fresh worship has caught the ears of the moguls at Word America. In the wake of the American worship revival sparked by the success of Delirious?, Matt Redman and now Sonic Flood, Foreverafter’s brand of dance pop is a welcome addition. The songs are given a welcome bit of production spit and polish by Dan Mukala so there are some strong musical resemblances to Mukala’s Fiction album, which to be honest is no bad thing! Scratch under the state of the art production and you find some catchy, straight forward God-focussed songs with interwining vocals shared by husband and wife team Janey and Jennifer Lyons. It is they who are the heart of Foreverafter and for me, their album does the business. Plenty of drum loops, samples and inventive guitar work from the Mukala guys and plenty of catchy choruses that plant themselves in your brain. Give it a couple of listens and you’ll be wandering around the house singing «The Best», «Who You Are» and «The One For Me» – top tunes all of them! Worthy of investigation. [Mike Rimmer, Cross Rhythms, August 1999]
