“Pulls from many different corners of music: pop, shoegaze, industrial, 90s and 2000s rock… 

she lives in the space between confrontational and vulnerable, adding an element of chaos to the fog.”

- HIT PARADER


Today, Los Angeles artist Forest is excited to share her new single “Whore and Savior.” After previewing the new single across her socials, fans and strangers alike were instantly hooked. Pummeling riffs charge forth from the start, building a strong layer of fuzz for Forest’s vocals to hold onto. Contemplating ideas of young love as one crosses the bridge from naivety to maturity, today’s release explores the push and pull between desire and innocence, cementing Forest as a rising star in the process. 


“I really drew on experiences of first love, and teenagehood,” Forest shares about the new single. “I wanted it to feel like looking back on a memory that was beautiful at the time, but has been overshadowed by sadness or loneliness. There’s also a sense of juxtaposition in womanhood I wanted to explore. The dichotomy between being pure and sexual, naïve and all knowing, and of course whore and savior. For a formative part of my life, I felt in the middle of it all, in a tug of war trying to be everything all at once.”

Prosthetic Stars” arrived earlier this year, armed with stadium-ready riffs and brightly toned synths, which soar lightly beneath Forest’s powerful vocals, creating a sense of emotional gravity that swells rather than explodes. Filled with desire and discomfort, drums anchor the melodically boisterous song, keeping in time with the urgency of the moment. 


LISTEN TO “PROSTHETIC STARS”


At the beginning of last year, Forest shared the four-track EP, Intravenous French Kiss. Featuring fan favorite track, “Braid Your Hair,” the project featured emo-tinged guitars, vulnerable reflection, and strong but whispery vocals. Permeating angst and intensity, Forest continues to push her sound to the limit.


Known for her unforgettable performances, Forest has shared the stage with bands like Starcrawler, Chokecherry, Empty Shell Casing, and more. To kick off 2026, she played the sold-out emo revival festival BurnDown in Santa Ana, CA. Next week, Forest will begin an expansive North American tour with LA trio Clarion.

ABOUT FOREST:

Wading through a slurry of distorted guitars and sultry vocals, Forest brings listeners into a world crafted from chaos and foggy dreams. Based out of Los Angeles, Forest is an alt-rock artist who blends elements of shoegaze, pop, industrial, and 90’s rock into a uniquely delicious, hook-forward sound. Vulnerable and confrontational, her songs live in a space between desire and resignation, soft confessions with deliberate intensity.


While her songwriting glows with introspection, Forest’s live shows tell a louder story. Across the West Coast, she has built a reputation for raucous, high-energy performances that turn packed rooms into chaos, inciting crowd surfers and mosh pits. The contrast of tender, intimate lyrics among the rawness of that explosive physical energy has become Forest’s signature, proving she’s just as powerful in the quiet moments as she is when she’s commanding a crowd. 


Forest is currently prepping her debut album, due for release in 2026.
