Vancouver native EKKSTACY returns with FOREVER, his most raw and emotionally charged project to date. Written during a quiet stretch back home, the album captures the sound of an artist breaking patterns and rewriting his future in real time. Trading in the post-punk haze of earlier releases for a grittier, more visceral emo-punk edge, FOREVER channels influences like Japandroids and Remo Drive, while still delivering the melodic vulnerability fans first fell in love with. The album includes standout tracks "she will be missed," "seventeen," and the cathartic "forever."Unlike his last album, there are no features, no guest appearances, no gimmicks. It's just Ekkstacy fully in possession of himself, harvesting all of the intangibles that made him such an exciting talent to begin with. For the first time, he built these songs from the ground up with voice and guitar, resulting in a tighter, more immediate sound that hits harder and feels more personal.FOREVER follows a run of high-profile tours with $uicideboy$ and Blink 182, and marks a new creative peak for the 23-year-old. The 13-track LP is pressed on classic black vinyl and housed in custom packaging, with a 12" x 24" poster insert with lyrics included.
