Forever Blue

Chris Isaak

Reverb-soaked heartbreak. These thirteen tracks capture the specific, lonely atmosphere of a California beach town after the tourists have gone.

The ultimate 'it's 2 AM and I'm still thinking about her' record.

A profound, reverb-drenched loneliness that feels both stylishly cinematic and painfully intimate.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The menacing, distorted guitar riff and heavy breathing that opens Baby Did a Bad Bad Thing.
The sudden, soaring falsetto leap in Somebody's Crying that feels like a physical sob.
The way the title track Forever Blue strips away everything but a skeletal guitar and a vulnerable vocal.
