Formed in 2019, Forester is a new indie electronic duo that has already made a lasting impact in the scene. The Los Angeles-based group is comprised of Xander Carlson and David Parris, both of whom write, produce, and sing. Their music blends acoustic instrumentation with electronic elements that transport the listener to wide open spaces, allowing for introspection as well as the desire to dance. They landed a deal on Kygo’s Palm Tree Records in May 2020 and dropped their sophomore album, A Range of Light, on December 4. In 2021, while working on new music, they also had incredible performances around the country, including selling out their first show on a sunset cruise around Manhattan, opening for Kygo at Red Rocks in Colorado, and playing at the very first Palm Tree Festival in New York. With millions of streams already under their belt and an ethos that calls for an eyes-closed escape, Forester’s future is looking brighter than ever.
