"Like two timelines converging, ELEPHANT TREE and LOWRIDER come together to present the collaborative album ""The Long Forever,"" easily one of the most eagerly awaited split releases in the history of heavy rock. Arriving in the wake of two landmark 2020 releases (Habits from Elephant Tree and Refractions from Lowrider), ""The Long Forever"" finds both bands at critical junctures: each has a broad and expanding influence, each is revered onstage and off, and each is delivering its first proper new release in four years to tremendous anticipation. Despite the pressure, Elephant Tree and Lowrider have seized the opportunity to redefine who they are and declare where their musical voyages will go next. Lowrider has grown more complex and expressive, while Elephant Tree has chosen a rawer, set-up-the-mics-and-go approach. "The Long Forever"" is the vehicle through which the bands meet, subverting and superseding the expectations on them, with a traumatic nexus as the gravitational singularity around which the entire LP orbits, bending and shaping every note that escapes forth. We invite fans to listen with open minds and love in their hearts."
