Kansas City duo forever ☆ return with Second Gen Dream, a shape-shifting 12" EP out August 29 via à La Carte Records. Following their 2023 breakout 3 Series, the new release dives deeper into a ghostly hybrid of shoegaze, jungle, and UK garage. Imagine Bowery Electric and 4hero tag-teaming in a dim Hacienda backroom. Tracks like “Blade Silver Metallic” and “Competizione” blur the line between rave catharsis and emotional comedown, pairing floating vocals with breakneck rhythms and shimmering distortion. A seven-track set for the mixtape makers, the club romantics, and the dreamers speeding past city lights. Second Gen Dream is both the afterparty and what you hear in the cab ride home.
