Various - Lonely Man's Dream

Forager Records marks its tenth release with a deeply personal various-artists compilation spanning dreamy psychedelic folk, soul, lovers rock and shimmering 1980s synth pop.

Eleven rare, obscure and previously hard-to-find tracks trace the label’s decade of digging, including Cocktails & Dreams’ luminous synth-pop cut Never Say Goodbye and Keith Jones’ drum-machine soul demo True Love. The selection is united less by genre than by a shared sense of searching, memory and emotional warmth.
