The band focused around Carrie Gillespie Feller, who writes lyrics and music, plays synths and sings, have released their debut album. And you have to say that this Californian darkwave on Sigil Sine has a lot of charm.
The quartet of the dark women show a really dark and at the same time catchy music. Feller's vocals create a lot of this atmosphere once being almost whispering and climatic only to change into almost punk-like and cocky. Sometimes within a few seconds in one track. Another thing is that in the traditional darkwave music based on the impressive synths, in The Trees the audience can find also perfectly fitting cello sounds and finally also surprisingly heavy guitar.
Perhaps even more interesting are the collaborative works with Mexico's Jung Sing and Tristan Shone known as Author & Punisher. In both cases, the goth accompaniment of the male vocal makes me think of the traditional gothic bands and the dialog with the dark but also very feminine voice of Feller, also of some more maintsream indie rock like The Kills.
