If Only the Trees - Drop the Air (2018) EN


If Only The Trees (not to be confused with If These Trees Could Talk) have their own approach to music that combines post-rock guitars and and indie folk rock atmosphere, so they are equally inspired by Mogwai as by The National. You can check out how this combination works on their debut "Drop the Air".

This inspirations can be treated very literally. The vocal parts have the same vibe of americana and American suburbs as Matt Berninger and his band has, while the guitar layer in which the vocals sometimes get lost, and which is built on the folkish part is deafening noise that is hardly worse that the Scottish instrumental blast. Those two ingredients function very often just next to each other (as in the great "The Way They Leave"), but are also satisfying alone, as "Let Alone Love" is a brilliant post-rock piece while "So Much Plenty Of" stands somewhere between what The National and The Black Heart Procession do.

"Drop the Air" costs 7 USD.
