Forest Kids Collective

Violet A. Foster

experimental tonality and expression in minimalism. isolated, empty, wall of sound liminality -- something about the plain, wall of sound with rich texture gives me a deep calm. A moment to slip away into the noise and take time to regroup and center yourself. I always was drawn to songs that would encapsulate that feeling; so here's a batch of songs/moments written as a love letter to all the songs and artists that have come before me doing similar things. All the things that have inspired me to be where I am now. ---

Imisu

After some time Imisu returns with a full package of goods. A full spread of the acoustic and electronic sounds of the project. Ancient Spirit feels like a achievement of sound for the project. The completed and perfected version of the sound I was striving to create even back in 2016. Now that this project is 10 years old Ancient Spirit is a showcase of sounds and expressionism that only a decade of releases can bring.

INTERACTIVE CO.

INTERACTIVE CO. returns to the surface with 11 tracks of classic vaporwave goodness - with a flair of Y2K and Frutiger spliced throughout. Sample-based with a few extra layers of synths and sounds. Utilizing banger R&B tracks from early 00s and late 90s alongside some random tracks I've had on-repeat on my iPod back then. All slushed and vapor-ized for your listening pleasure. Hope you enjoy this new Era

Questioner

Welcoming to the fray ~ Questioner ~ brand new alias to the Collective bringing a style I've been itching to have a stab at. This is just the start. kintsugi is my first release/attempt at making lofi house with a dark r&b tinge to it. The whole theme / aesthetics of the release is very Y2K and I aim to keep more releases in that pocket. The album and cassette consists of 10 dark moody and groovin’ tracks that are hard to not be moving to, productive, or even just a head bop. vinyl available here: https://elasticstage.com/questioner/releases/kintsugi-album

Kiko Kaid

After years of dabbling around in features, remixes and collaborations.. Kiko Kaid has finally put together another full length album. Featuring several aliases from the collective to really bring some of these tracks to life. Clean and chill, easily one of the best releases from Kiko ~

H A C E

Laid back and breezy new tune from H A C E. Flowy down-to-earth strings and saturated beats morphed into the signature. Spiced with synth plucks and stabs; among layered classic SFX.

_XPRESSWINDOW

A ideal follow up to V ~ _XPRESSWINDOW brings another solid album to the FKC catalog. Pulling out all the stops with up-beat and subdued dreamy electronic tunes. Themed all slightly brighter with a solar-punk / frutiger aero tinge ~ released August 14, 2025
