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]
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]
