FOREST CITY LOVERS burst onto Toronto’s music scene with the release of their 2006 album, The Sun and the Wind. Released independently with the help of some talented friends, it was received with critical acclaim. Chart Magazine called the record “delightfully engaging” while Exclaim proclaimed Burns “enigmatic and subtly inventive”. Two years and a lot of cross country touring later, Forest City Lovers hunkered down in a Toronto studio with a fistful of new songs. These sessions birthed Haunting Moon Sinking which straddles the line between heartbreakingly beautiful and intimately powerful. Forest City Lovers’ new album explores themes of love and life with lush and poignant orchestration. With many Canadian talents filling out chorused vocals and swelling string arrangements, Haunting Moon Sinking steps into a natural progression from the band’s previous effort The band had a very successful 2007/2008 year with highlight performances that include a sold out Halifax Pop Explosion show alongside Joel Plaskett, an at capacity sweat box Pop Montreal show, as well as performing at the Hillside Festival in Guelph, Ontario, the Sled Island Music Festival in Calgary, Alberta, and grassroots local community festivals such as Ladyfest and Kazoo. Plans are in the works to bring the band to Europe and the US throughout 2009 and to try and make this year even better than the last. www.forestcitylovers.com www.myspace.com/forestcitylovers
