Reader support matters more than ever
We're in the final stretch of our summer campaign. Our goal is to raise $25,000 by August 9 to support the journalism our community relies on. Reader support is helping shape the future of local news.
Trees pushes a lot of air when it gets on stage with its bank of nearly wall-to-wall amps issuing forth colossal, crushing, menacing, loping sounds that recall Neurosis circa The Eye of Every Storm without that band’s essential weirdness, or Wolves in the Throne Room minus the more ridiculous black-metal affectations. Trees (due Friday, January 21, at the Larimer Lounge) doesn’t follow the stoner-rock path as normally dictated by this sort of music, and the trio’s soaring guitar melodies elevate what could be pure heaviness into something far more dynamic. Live, these guys throw themselves into their performances, making the melodramatic tone of their songs believable.
