We Are Forever
Album
- an incredible journey between ever-changing dynamics, running between shimmering lulls and soaring crescendos
- The Big Takeover
- Kallai’s We Are Forever explores ethereality and trance-like structures drawn from post punk and shoegaze traditions. Its hypnotic pulse and understated melodies create a quiet persistence that slowly takes hold, pairing introspective lyricism with haunting melodic lines. It's a record recommended to be experienced as a whole.
- Destroy//Exist
- mesmerizing, airy yet commanding, like the shoegaze cousin of the band Ladytron
- Get Some Magazine
- Portland, OR-based quartet Kallai build a gripping, layered rock entrancement throughout their new album We Are Forever — showcasing a fantastic blend of dream-pop, shoegaze, and rock
- Obscure Sound
- feels like a slow-motion explosion, a majestic and understated collapse that leaves you breathless. It’s the perfect, sprawling end to a record that demands to be played loud.
- Buzzy Band
- Dense, soupy, smoky, cloying, beautifully shoegaze with an emphasis on soundscaping and layering.
