Forester / Kotier

With millions of streams under their belt and an ethos that calls for an eyes-closed escape, indie electronic duo Forester has already made a lasting impact on the scene. The Los Angeles-based group is comprised of Xander Carlson and David Parris, both of whom write, produce, and sing. Their music blends acoustic instrumentation with electronic elements that transport the listener to wide open spaces, allowing for introspection as well as the desire to dance.

They landed a deal on Kygo’s Palm Tree Records in May 2020 and dropped their sophomore album A Range of Light on December 4. In 2021 they had incredible performances around the country, selling out their first show on a sunset cruise around Manhattan, opening for Kygo at Red Rocks in Colorado, and playing at the very first Palm Tree Festival in New York.
