Eternity Forest by The Striped Bananas
This album shouldn't exist. Amid struggles, we focused on writing singles for 2024 and 2025. An explosion of material followed, harking back to the vintage days of "Lady Sunshine" in 2013 when everything gelled seamlessly. In a way, "Eternity Forest" is a renaissance of rediscovering who we are; in life and creativity. It was inspiring to work with so many friends; from the USA to India, Italy, and Nigeria. We hope you enjoy this journey. Welcome to Eternity Forest!
