Bolted is Forest Swords's third studio album and the first from the Liverpool-based artist released Compassion six years ago. It will be released on October 20 via Ninja Tune.

In a press statement, he explained that "The Low" began life intended for another artist: “‘The Low’ was based on a beat I’d originally intended for Yoko Ono, and features elements I made both at the start and end of the album, so ties together a lot of the sounds and emotions I was exploring during the writing process. The accompanying video directed with Sam Wiehl expands on some of my artwork and visual world that accompanies the record.”
