Brian Eno has announced a his first solo studio album in five years: ForeverAndEverNoMore is out October 14 (via Verve/UMC). It’s a 10-song album and the first since 2005’s Another Day on Earth on which most of the songs feature his vocals. Guests on the LP include Jon Hopkins, Leo Abrahams, and Roger Eno. Check out the video for the new song “There Were Bells” below.
Eno wrote “There Were Bells” for a 2021 performance at the Acropolis (hence the video). The day of the show, the temperature in Athens was higher than 110 degrees and wildfires were raging near the city, prompting Eno to remark, “Here we are at the birthplace of Western civilization, probably witnessing the end of it.” The album at large attends to the theme of the climate crisis, according to a press release.
Eno added:
Eno’s last album was 2017’s Reflection. Read Pitchfork’s feature from that year, “A Conversation With Brian Eno About Ambient Music.”
