The documentation of a transformative period in MIZU's life, 'Forest Scenes' interrogates the boundaries between the forest and what might be beyond it, weaving lush strings with dramatic synths and suggestive field recordings.
MIZU's second full-length was started when she was in São Paulo for two weeks, inspired by the city's vast urban expanse. On returning to New York City, she spent a year tweaking and modifying her ideas, trying to move even further from the classical training that rooted its predecessor 'Distant Intervals'. The record parallels her physical gender transition, and MIZU sees the forest as a metaphor for the queer spaces that gave her energy and inspiration as she was writing the album. She considers the meaning of pastoral, natural and modern, losing luxurious string phrases in thickets of synthesized noise and abstraction. At her most experimental, she enlists help from Concrete Husband on 'prphtbrd', encasing her instruments in sizzling white noise and feedback and building up into an unexpected technoid crescendo.
