The album is Forest Swords' second, following 2013's Engravings.[1] The first single from the album, "The Highest Flood", was released on 7 March 2017.[2] 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.[3] On 26 April 2017, a third track, "Panic", was released, again with a video directed by the artist.[4] 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.[5] 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.[6] 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."[6] Artwork and designBarnes has a background in graphic design, and designed all the artwork for the album himself.[7] In an interview with The Vinyl Factory, he said he chose the album’s cover photograph because ‘It just seemed to sum up what I try and make with the music: something that’s timeless… and something that veers between different emotions’, describing it as a ‘visual metaphor’ for the ‘feel and themes of the record’.[7] Barnes describes a book on Francis Bacon’s paintings and ’the photos they found on his studio floor by John Deakin’ as a ‘singular… style reference for the artwork’ on Compassion.[7] The art booklet that accompanies the deluxe edition of the album includes a variety of found images sourced from ‘old books and magazines’. Many of the images are ‘portraits of people who’d emigrated’ through Barnes’ ‘home port’ of Liverpool in the early 1900s.[7] Critical reception{{Album ratings| MC = 82/100[8] | rev1 = AllMusic | rev1Score = {{rating|4|5}}[9] | rev2 = Resident Advisor | rev2Score = {{rating|4.5|5}}[10] | rev3 = The 405 | rev3Score = {{rating|4.5|5}}[11] | rev4 = Clash | rev4Score = 8/10[12] | rev5 = Exclaim! | rev5Score = 8/10[13] | rev6 = Pitchfork | rev6Score = 7.8/10[14] | rev7 = PopMatters | rev7score = {{rating|4|5}}[15] | rev8 = Q | rev8score = {{rating|4|5}}[16] | rev9 = Rolling Stone | rev9score = {{rating|4|5}}[17] | rev10 = The A.V.

Club called it "passionately realized" in an A- review.[21] Clash gave it an 8 out of 10 review, describing it as "wordless protest music that impresses with its sheer thematic ambition".[12] Exclaim! awarded it 8/10, saying "the goosebumps will cover most of your body". It charted at number 9 on their Top 10 Dance and Electronic Albums of 2017.[13] The Quietus said that he had "lost none of his power to enthral, disturb and enthuse".[22] Compassion was included in Albums of the Week lists by Rolling Stone,[23] Entertainment Weekly[24] and Vulture.[25] It was album of the week on BBC 6Music and Bleep.[26]Track listing
