Theres one thing Forth Wanderers want to make clear as they prepare to release their third album The Longer This Goes On: Were not back, guitarist Ben Guterl says emphatically. Its perhaps an unexpected sentiment to pair with the bands first album since they parted ways seven years ago, but the band insists its an honest answerthey came together to record the ten intricately constructed gems that make up this new record, and theyre still figuring out what being in Forth Wanderers means to them.

Listening to these songs, each a glittering celebration of vocalist Ava Trillings urgent and intuitive lyrics and the bands natural musical chemistry, though, its hard to feel like theres much of anything left unsaid. Filled with spit-shined melodies, chiming vocal harmonies, and slinky, slanted rhythms, the album is more expansive than just a return to form. On The Longer This Goes On, Forth Wanderers sound more self-aware and self-assured than ever before. Just dont call it a comeback.
