The Stranger
The Lonely Forest are the first band to sign to Chris Walla’s new imprint label, Trans. (Which is an imprint on Atlantic.) “I’ve been lucky enough to make records with tons of phenomenal bands, and I’ve considered [starting a label] a number of different times,” Walla says. “I don’t know—is it oversimplified to say it’s them and it just makes sense? This wouldn’t be happening if it weren’t for the Lonely Forest. They’re a phenomenal band. I’ve been following my nose for so many years, doing the things that felt like the right thing to do. And this time the answer was yes.” In addition to this very exciting news, The Lonely Forest will also be playing the Seattle Party at SXSW this year.
