Blackchords, a band that has previously graced the soundtracks of acclaimed TV shows like Suits, Shameless, and Orange is the New Black, found themselves at a crossroads, an artistic juncture where they had to confront their creative spirit. From this junction, they have emerged not weakened, but invigorated and more creative than ever. "Connected // Forgotten" represents their triumphant return, a rekindling of their artistic fire that has birthed amasterpiece poised to resonate deeply with audiences.

The album is a masterclass in musical diversity, each track an exploration of a unique emotional landscape. You’ll experience a captivating blend of dark synth funk infused with an upbeat energy. This song lays the foundation for the journey ahead, introducing listeners to the band's multifaceted sonic palette.

As you traverse the album, you'll open up with "More Than You Will Ever Know," where lush string-scapes paint vivid emotional pictures. The strings, guided by Blackchords' deft hands, evoke an array of feelings, from nostalgia to longing, with every note.

Throughout "Connected // Forgotten," the band draws inspiration from legendary 70's works like Pink Floyd and Isao Tomita. Simultaneously, they nod to the indie acts of the 2000s, such as Metronomy and Phoenix. Yet, Blackchords' signature brooding and introspective sound remains a guiding force, ensuring that their music is always distinctly their own.

What truly sets this album apart is the seamless blend of vintage elements with modern production. The result is an immersive landscape that feels both familiar and fresh. It's a testament to the band's artistic maturity and their ability to navigate the ever-evolving musical landscape.
