Future of Forestry is a four-piece band from San Diego comprised of Eric Owyoung (lead vocals/guitars/keyboards) and Nick Maybury (guitars/keyboards/vocals)—both formerly of Something Like Silas—along with Luke Floeter (bass) and Spencer Kim (drums). Their music is a joyous combination of ethereal sonic landscapes and tight melodic rock. They derive their name from a C.S. Lewis poem and are committed to music that directly connects the listener to The Divine while touching the human soul. Paul: I like the band name a lot. How did it come about? Eric: We had a “band naming” session—which is quintessential band fun—and each of us had to come up with 10 names.

That week, we collected ideas from random things like kids’ books and road signs. Luke happened to be skimming through a C.S Lewis collection of poems, and one was titled “The Future of Forestry.” For him, it was a bit of a joke, but it started growing on us. I actually didn’t start liking it until I took the time to look into the poem. It’s this strange scenario about industrialization taking over England and all of the trees being cut down.

Children ask their parents questions like, “What was autumn?” It makes you think about what life would be without trees. Or for that matter, what life would be like without beauty or simplicity.

Paul: How would you describe your band’s sound? Eric: Our sound started with Nick and me back when we were in Something Like Silas. We were influenced by the whole indie L.A scene with bands like The Prayer Chain and The Autumns that are full of creativity and vibe but take a while to digest. As our sound started to develop, I started to see the emotional impact of great songwriters like Simon and Garfunkel and The Beatles. I also started tapping more into my classical training from college by focusing on melody, not just with the vocals, but with all the parts. In the end, by the time we formed Future of Forestry, this mix of experimental indie vibe came together with a very melodic and rhythmic drive to the songs.

Sometimes it’s a big rock feel, and sometimes it feels like a sentimental singer/songwriter tune. There’s a lot of liberty in not being one or the other. For us, it means having creative license like Bjork and Radiohead, but having the impact of ‘song and melody’ bands like U2 or Kent. Paul: What’s the perfect setting for a Future of Forestry show? If your budget was infinite, what kind of production would you use for this coming year?

Without monetary limitations, I’d love to see music and the visual arts bring people through the experience of a lifetime.

Rather than using the visual elements to make a band look cool or trendy, I want to use them to paint pictures of the music. I actually have a sketch book of a gigantic stage setup with multiple screens and stage levels that would let us explore a live stage and video interaction. In other words, something in which the players and the visual elements are a part of each other.

I want people, regardless of their beliefs or religious affiliations, to have an experience with The Divine; it’s the kind of experience that doesn’t need a label. I have dreams of taking people into another world at a concert, to the point where people walk away trying to describe it, but failing to do so, and all they can say is, “You have to see it.” Paul: Who is a band you’d like to have dinner with? Eric: I’d mostly like to have dinner with The River Bottom Nightmare Band. They’re the new thing.
