"Forever And Ever," the debut album from Pacific Northwest power-trio Private Room (members of Walls), is a terse and tense record. With its discordantly bent notes, shots of industrial clang, atonal noise washouts and boneheaded punk, the album cultivates a forbidding atmosphere for the sardonic lyrics to comfortably occupy. Although a charred cynicism colors "Forever And Ever," the music itself elbows at the boundaries of whatever genre - punk, hardcore, noise-rock, or any micro-niche thereof - one might apply to it. LP includes digital download and is limited to 500 copies.
