about

VIOLETS ARE RED, ROSES ARE BLUE AND DICHOTOMY is FOREST POOKY’S second studio solo album. It comes ten years after Every Key Hole Has An Eye to be Seen Through, with many splits, EP’s and a cover record in the meantime. This new album obviously reveals his pop influences with melodies referencing the Beach Boys or the Beatles, while also sharing the rhythm and energy of bands like Rancid or Hot Water Music.
His lyrics can be satirical and naive at the same time, transpiring, with humor, the sweet rage of the author.
In the song If I Get Sick of It for example, Forest takes on the romantic image of artists declaring “I’ll hit the road ‘til the end! ”, saying that at some point, if he Gets Sick of It, he’ll stop. A first single which will be illustrated, as will be the following singles, with a video clip by David Basso and an amazing and beautiful artwork by Roxane Rastrelli.
Another song named Marvellous tells humorously how Forest got in a tricky and painful situation, being awkward, when meeting his sweetheart on the Reunion Island.
And of course the song Jojo, in which Forest gently sets things straight with internet trolls.
Forest took his time to make VIOLETS ARE RED, ROSES ARE BLUE AND DICHOTOMY, a record in his image, touching, funny, moving sometimes, often energetic, freeing why not, rejoicing always.
Sounds like youthful energy in a very mature album. We did say Dichotomy!
