Claude says:Eric Owyoung started Future of Forestry in Southern California in 2006, naming the project after a C.S. Lewis poem, and soon launched a series of Advent EPs devoted to Christmas music alongside his indie rock work. This first installment leans into dreamy post-rock arrangements of carols — ethereal guitars, layered vocals, reverent but never stuffy. You picked it up the winter after it came out and cycled through the whole thing heavily that December, returning to "What Child Is This" and "Little Drummer Boy" most often, and it's been a seasonal anchor ever since, never absent for more than a year or two.
