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. The younger generations don’t know what trees are, but some adults have memories of them. Children ask their parents questions like, “What was autumn?” It makes you think about what life would be without trees.
