Parts Of Anything
Blight, 2019
8/10
The brainchild of Washington D.C. multi-instrumentalist David Klinger, as Forgetter the artist brings a very eclectic and cautious display of massive skill with Parts Of Anything.
After the brief key heavy and soft “Old Field”, the album moves into the warm textures of “Colorblind”, where flashes of alt-rock and indie-rock highlight a tune where it almost seems like 3 songs are playing simultaneously, yet with much fluidity.
At 17 tracks, there’s much to absorb here, but Forgetter keeps the setting varied with the hazy, orchestral baroque-pop of “Never Gonna Find You”, the upbeat and sunny “Skeleton”, and the tense, cinematic “Maple Seeds”, where psyche-rock and folk ideas are in attendance.
Near the end, the title track offers a serene and mysterious elegance that’s on par with Thom Yorke’s work, and “On A Wave” ends the affair with graceful keys in a bare execution of singer-songwriter brilliance.
Formerly of the much adored outfit Frau Eva, as Forgetter Klinger offers heartfelt, thoughtful and constantly changing sounds that make Parts Of Anything a bright spot in today’s version of indie-rock.
