On October 23, 2007 The Forms will release their self-titled follow-up to their well received debut 'Icarus'. 'The Forms' was recorded over a 50-day period in Illinois with the legendary Steve Albini (Nirvana, the Pixies), who tested the New York act's limits, as well as their sonics and sanity, in ways that most of us couldn't even begin to imagine. What resulted is a disc that takes the band's unique brand of post-hardcore to indescribable new levels. Fading in and out of each other like a series of dream sequences, The Forms evokes the classic Dischord roster such as Shudder To Think and Fugazi as much as it does underappreciated '90s acts like Slowdive and the Dismemberment Plan.

The Forms have shared the stage with seemingly disparate acts such as The National, The Hold Steady, Minus The Bear, Death From Above 1979 and OK Go. Stereogum called 2003's 'Icarus' a "breathtaking post-hardcore gem", and gave The Forms their "highest endorsement", while Pitchfork rated their debut as a solid 8.5.

"It's good not having a boss coercing us to do appearances at T.G.I.F.," singer Alex Tween explains when asked why the band decided to finance and self-release the album on their own. "With this album we wanted to create this sense that you're visiting a place that exists after you leave." The album will be released on The Forms' own label, Threespheres, and distributed through the Rebel Group/ADA.
