Tree Hopping is the side project of 1/3 of carnival yelpers Totally Nebular . If I had to guess I'd say this guy is the main song writer for Totally Nebular, as they aren't too far apart. The Beat Band is heavier on the tropical influence and lighter on the (already light) hip-hop influences on Boat Boat. The music (except vocals) is made entirely of loops, but it never sounds inorganic. There's also something particularly grin-inducing about hearing the incredibly catchy hooks pop in more than one song. [...]

holy cow! this kid is amazing! aside from being a total cutie and a member of one of my favorite bands, totally nebular , he's got this wacky fucking awesome solo project called tree hopping . apparently he made all the sounds on his new record, the beat band , with his sampler? i mean, i don't really get it cause it sounds like a bunch of chimpanzees playing drums and jangling guitars at the best party in the world. this is rapidly becoming my new favorite record. when i'm sitting at my table [...]

(photo: ardilla dilla) Down here in Florida rainforest swamp there exists approximately one basement and this basement is a radio station called WPRK 91.5fm. Once a week I descend underground, turn off all the lights and blast new/FL/fmly jams for two hours under the Rol-Col tutoring center. Every Tuesday from 5-7pm If I Ran the Zoo takes over all airwaves across the globe within a 16 mile radius of Park Avenue, but if you don't live right around the block you can stream it live here !

Digging Up Your Candles When I first heard Totally Nebular from Florida after seeing them on Emily Reo 's radio show playlist I was surprised and excited. Totally Nebular makes the kind of fun, unhinged pop music that sounds bigger than its three band members, like a beach blow out with The Unicorns, Man Man, Animal Collective and Ponytail in attendance. Eddie Roqueta, Weston Mansfeld and Gabriel Berrios have been playing together since 2007, and became Totally Nebular in 2008. In their songs, playful synths have noisy parties with [...]

Welcome to Florida, home of Disney World, Tiger Woods and gatorade. But that's not all - as the rest of the world is beginning to discover, we also have music. Some pretty rad music, too. In fact, I heard that Florida is the new Portland. It was then debated whether or not Portland is the new Portland, but whatever the answer may be, Florida is the new something. This is convenient, because Florida will likely fall into the ocean soon. As the interpreter between Florida and the rest of the world, I offer you this mix , this grapefruit [...]

Florida band Totally Nebular don't just have an awesome name, they make some really awesome, exuberant music. They sound like a combination of Animal Collective circa Feels and a carnival. The music lays a pristine bed of synths and assorted noises, and then weaves in distorted vocals that sound like they're being shouted from a little distance away. It's not terribly melodic, usually a requirement for me to enjoy it, but Totally Nebular pulls it off in a fashion that is very unique and very enjoyable. The album (entitled Boat Boat ) is an almost mesmerizing, [...]
mp3: Totally Nebular - Anthony Naples A new day brings some more positive vibes from Florida. Totally Nebular sent over their self-released LP Boat Boat today, and it's a bonafied smash. This number, "Anthony Naples," rounds out an album that masterfully blends in bits of samples with live arrangements. It's overflowing with energy, driving music when for when you are too busy admiring the sky to notice you're cruising 20 over the limit. [...]
If you like your music the way you like your circus folk, Totally Nebular 's Boat Boat LP might be your twisted idea of good carny fun. Fair warning: those of you who liked those Sarah Jaffe tracks from a few days ago will be quite put off by this, so unless you think a hybrid of Man Man, Sunset Rubdown, and Ponytail is the best idea in the world you might wanna look elsewhere. If the album had a "lead single" proper, it might sound something like this [...]

Absolument lumineux les Totally Nebular et surfant sur la vague des Animal Collective. Pour les coups de blues, les longs week-ends pluvieux. Quand on se prend à vouloir taper sur les casseroles et le plan de travail de la cuisine. Quand Boat Boat ( à télécharger par ici ) devient l'objet du désir... [MP3] Totally Nebular - Green Tops [MP3] Totally Nebular - White Lincoln

Totally Nebular - Green Tops Från Florida kommer Totally Nebular som bjuder på någon sorts elektroakustisk röra. Det plingar, det låter konstigt men det låter också bra. Låten är från deras album Boat Boat .
Totally Nebular Anyone with a taste for hysterically belted-out singing and more musical twists and turns will than your average game of snake will enjoy these 3 and a half minutes. Emphasizing the formula "more is not enough", this is at places perhaps a little too cartoonish for my tastes, yet offering some really fun moments at the same time. Totally Nebular belong to a cluster of nice Florida Modest Mouse-worshipping bands including God Boat , Forest Clay and Hear Hums [...]
