Creating against the current
It's not by accident that the koi carp, the creature from Chinese mythology, appears in both Koi Forest's name as well as their logo.
Much like the carp, which is known to swim upstream, the music of Koi Forest sonically swims against the current. Inspired by this creature, the band takes you to mythical places and unknown atmospheres in their music. With deep grooves, fairytale-like harmonies and visual stimuli, they guide you through deep forests where everything seems just slightly different.
Koi Forest consists of four band members: drummer Koen Gardebroek, bassist/pianist Deborah Slijkhuis, guitarist Sebastiaan Visser and singer Selma Ebbens. They will release their debuutalbum in 2025.

Lyrics
////////
I’ve got to know who you are
In all the things that I’m not
Could you just show me your ways?
Hair like golden thread
Lips are always dark red
Oh boys, they’re losing their way
Oh, you’re just like saffron
A love spell for everyone
Who comes your water, near
Your reflections are bright
There’s fire in your eyes
Singing songs, hypnotize
The illusion of milk and honey
Makes it taste bitter
You aren’t saving hearts
I, I, I
I want to see what you’ve got
And the way you move and gaze
I, I, I
But when getting closer
You’re always drifting away
I, I, I
I want to see what you’ve got
And the way you dive and chase
I, I, I
Is it real or is it fake?
I’ve got to love who you are
Even though your love is sharp
Heading only one way
It might be just who you are
But oh, deeper the scars
They ain’t going away
You are the forbidden fruit
That always tastes good
But you’ll never get enough
I’ve got to know who you are
In all the things that I’m not
Could you just show me your ways?
The illusion of milk and honey
Makes it taste bitter
You aren’t saving hearts
The illusion of milk and honey
Makes it taste bitter
You aren’t saving hearts
I, I, I
I want to see what you’ve got
And the way you move and gaze
I, I, I
But when getting closer
You’re always drifting away
I, I, I
I want to see what you’ve got
And the way you dive and chase
I, I, I
Is it real or is it fake?
