Ah, it’s almost summertime, and the living is easy for the musical act known as Hyper Battle. Naturally, with a name like that, you’d expect a track called “Forest” to be about the Battle of Endor, as the Rebels and Ewoks tangle with Stormtroopers. Rather far from it, as it’s a rather laid-back affair perfect for the springtime. The instrumental track features chill guitar chords and spare percussion, allowing you to sit back and enjoy this melodic, arboreal trip. So take a hike, and get lost in the “Forest.”
