Tomorrow Forever is the twelfth album by alternative rock musician Matthew Sweet, funded wholly by his fans through the crowdfunding platform Kickstarter. It was released on June 16, 2017 as a digital download, CD, and as a 2-LP vinyl set.[1]
The album was funded by a Kickstarter campaign, which ran from June 27 – July 27, 2014.[2] The album's expected April 2015 release date was delayed to June 2017. Sweet originally recorded 38 songs, and cut this down to 17 for the final album, which was the reason for the delay in release.[3] Twelve of the remaining 21 tracks were released in a bonus demo album (Tomorrow's Daughter), sent exclusively to backers of the campaign on Kickstarter, and intended for official release at a later date.[4] [5]
The album charted at number 27 on the Billboard Independent Albums chart. Critics generally praised the album, but highlighted its familiarity to his earlier albums.[6] The review aggregating website Metacritic reports a normalized score of 77% based on 4 critic reviews.
