2016Purr

I'm gonna purr, purr, purr.

I'm gonna purr, purr, purr. — I Forgot, somewhere between sleep and waking.
2013We Forget

Slightly higher-fi epic weirdness.

The late-period I Forgot record. Still weird, still epic, but recorded on equipment that had seen the inside of a music store.
2009Did You Bang Her?

'This is one of the worst albums I've heard on Jamendo.'

An actual review from an actual listener on Jamendo, worn since as a badge of honor. I Forgot at their most uncompromising, which is saying something.
2008Acid Fleas

Unfiltered, 7th-generation kinescope recordings unearthed from the deepest bowels of repressed nightmares.

A collection of unfiltered, 7th generation kinescope recordings of subway documentary and burlesque show excerpts that were wrecklessly unearthed from the deepest bowels of Hunter S. Thompson and Freddie Mercury's love child's twisted repressed nightmares that are being forcefully displayed in front of your mechanically pryed open eyelids by both an old asthmatic woman who is reading poetry and a large group of oriental children on mescaline playing kazoos, synthesizers running low on batteries, and banjos thru 11 differently configured guitar amps simultaneously in a cornfield guarded by growling black dogs tied to tiki torches with trimmer line at 4 AM that hit you suddenly and surprisingly like a kick in the genitals from behind by someone wearing ruby slippers partially wrapped in aluminum foil.
2007Ottsix

Screamed, gargled, grunted and moaned expressions of inner turmoil and sexual frustration.

Ottsix is a terrifyingly frantic assortment of screamed, gargled, grunted and moaned expressions of inner turmoil and sexual frustration as heard reverberating from the insides of a loosely tied burlap sack full of cutlery, baby dolls, packing peanuts, and aircraft cable that is haphazardly falling down a sanitarium's spiral staircase in both slow motion and fast-forward simultaneously.
2005Eagle God Book Book

I Forgot's debut: one full hour of post-teenage isolationist free noise pop and somnambulist philosophizing.

one full hour of post teenage isolationist free noise pop and somnambulist philosophizing sandwiched in between songs about humanity-as-dolphin and giant erections. certainly unlike anything anyone anywhere has heard since lou reed heard don cherry having terrible liquor shits in the bathroom right after they jammed The Bells and lou trying as he might to remember if he even did or not. packaged in total nonsense full color j-card w/art by j.Lo, it's a beautiful thing!
2005Tango Gang Fights

Originally planned as a 2-mini-CD set on Hand Panther; eventually released on a c60 by Circumstancial.

I Forgot was going to create a 2-mini-CD set on Hand Panther since they were on a roll with EGBB. The first eight tracks were called 'Three Inch Ideas' and the latter 'One Third Boston.' Although much of the material is new, some was based on - or is - older recordings. Eventually released on a c60 by Josh's own Circumstancial, split with his San Francisco music. There was originally to be one more track at the very end, a tribute to Metroid.
