'Forest Party' bottles the feeling of a vibrant neighbourhood as a burst of joyful anti-colonial noisemaking, DIY spirit and POC-led diversity.
The album shines a warm glow on collaborations between two-time QMA winner Matt Hsu and members of the radically-inclusive Obscure Orchestra collective — deep bench of Meanjin/Magandjin’s alternative/experimental artists, queer noise musician, indie figures and hip hop luminaries, brought together by ‘punk-trained composer’ Matt Hsu.
