- Compassion is the second studio album by British electronic music artist Forest Swords, released on 5 May 2017. The album is Forest Swords' second, following 2013's Engravings. The first single from the album, "The Highest Flood", was released on 7 March 2017. Compassion was announced on 30 March 2017, and accompanied by another track from the album, "Arms Out", featuring a video directed by Sam Wiehl and Forest Swords himself. On 26 April 2017, a third track, "Panic", was released, again with a video directed by the artist. A further single featuring two tracks from the Compassion album recording sessions - "Congregate" and "Free" - was released on 28 September, with all proceeds going to relief work in Mexico and Puerto Rico. In an interview with Fact, Barnes talked about the hybrid of digital and analog sounds used to create the record, noting that computer-generated instruments and digital processing on recordings blur the lines between "real and fake" on the record, drawing parallels between his music making techniques and the current affairs trend of 'fake news' in the media. Barnes cited "communication" as a central theme of the record, claiming "It's what I like exploring musically as well, sometimes you can say quite a lot with an instrumental part that you maybe can't say with language or lyrics that are prescriptive."
