‘Rare, Forever’ finds Vynehall delving into “who he is as a person and artist in the very moment”, and presents “a beautiful marriage” of his work so far while also progressing his sound.
‘Mothra’ is described by Vynehall as being “the euphoric unfurling of ‘something’.” He added: “Muted notes fluttering free before returning to the cascade we arrived from, only now with purpose.”
As for ‘Ecce! Ego!’ he explained: “The track’s title literally translates from Latin to ‘Behold! Me!’ A fitting introduction to an album about my own psyche, I thought.
“It starts off where ‘Nothing Is Still’ left off, but rapidly switches to something more fluid, perhaps even sinister. I kind of think of this song as ‘Envelopes (Chater VI)”s fucked up cousin.”
‘Rare, Forever’ also includes the songs ‘In>Pin’, ‘Snakeskin ∞ Has-Been’ and ‘Dumbo’. You can pre-order/pre-save the album here and see its full tracklist below.
