about
The first single from DEAN FOREVER's forthcoming album 'Greatest Once'
Fans of DEAN FOREVER's debut self titled album will recognise the band's distinctive combination of soaring, heartfelt melodies amongst a swirl of pianos and synths. On their sophomore album the band ventures into new terrain with the assistance of guitarist Nicholas Pipe, adding textured walls of sound reminiscent of Neil Halstead or Johnny Marr.
Honed during a run of overseas shows including SXSW, Greatest Once captures DEAN FOREVER as a live unit in a way unheard on their debut, when the band was a studio project of Kiah Lanagan and Jakub Tengdahl.
Teaming up again with producer Matt Hills, with mastering from Justin Pizzoferrato (Pixies, Dinosaur Jr, Speedy Ortiz, Sebadoh), Greatest Once is DEAN FOREVER taking their sound to a new level entirely.

Two highly enjoyable alt-rock tracks that combine power and beauty with great results. The sound is sweet and the production is clean – I'm certainly up for more of this! Michael Reilly
This EP is really one of the most beautiful collections of songs I've heard. The atmosphere is incredible. I highly recommend putting the whole thing on on a long night drive or loud on a stereo on a rainy day. Esp love "Fader" and "Comedown" Skylar Francise
