Forever Today is an album by the Swedish band I'm from Barcelona, released in 2011.[5][6] At the time of the recording, the band was made up of 27 members.[7]

Critical reception

Paste wrote that "the whole thing plays like one long anthem, the score to an indie-pop opera."[8] Exclaim! thought that "IFB's sound seldom feels crowded, often favouring a simple, but strong guitar or keyboard line to rally around, adding clever flourishes rather than competing melodies."[9] The New York Times opined that the album "doesn’t suggest a collective venture so much as a well-upholstered solo project: less Broken Social Scene than the Polyphonic Spree."[7]
