Album Of The Day: Travel III by Future Of Forestry

Album Art of Future Of Forestry's Travel III album - A colorful art piece of a blond-haired young woman sitting against the front of a classic sedan car from probably 50 years ago or so. Her dress is orange, and the car is blue, and the sky behind is various shades of yellow and orange in a somewhat simple line drawing style. At the top, the band name is printed with a decorative chevron in grey below it. At the bottom, over the art is printed the album title in a gold and dark blue bubble.

Released 15 years ago today, this was the third of three EPs released by Future Of Forestry on the theme of "travel", and it's one of their best releases in my opinion. The band gets going with the rockin' "Bold & Underlined", and definitely gets more electronic with "Protection". "Did You Lose Yourself?" is probably the best song on the EP, with a beautiful pop sound and strings that are a foretaste of the band's sound on their later independent releases. Eric Owyoung, the songwriter and musician who is the heart of Future Of Forestry, its a very talented writer and these Travel I, Travel II, and Travel III EPs were fun explorations of his talents and the many types of songs he can create. This EP is maybe the most rock 'n' roll the band ever gets, which is unfortunate in my opinion, but I continue to love the music put out by Future Of Forestry for almost 20 years now.
