Forever Again is the second full-length album by the Canadian indie band Eric's Trip.[5][6][2] The album was recorded and mixed by the band's guitarist, Rick White. Sessions for the album took place at band members' homes and at White's home studio, Stereo Mountain. It was released by Seattle's Sub Pop records as SP 268, in LP, CD and cassette formats.

The album documents the romantic parting of White and Julie Doiron, as well as White's issues with drug use.[7]

The first few hundred copies of the vinyl LP ordered by mail-order included a bonus 7-inch EP with a comic book sleeve titled Notes From Stereo Mountain. The EP is one of the rarest items in the Eric's Trip catalog.

Critical reception

Trouser Press called the album better than the debut, writing that "the songwriting tightens some of the eighteen selections into shapely forms, most noticeably when acoustic lightness is the chosen timbre."[6]

Awards

The album was a Juno Award nominee for Best Alternative Album at the Juno Awards of 1995.
