As many of you have noticed, Obscure Sound is undergoing some changes. I hope the new design helps this site continue on the path of more frequent and diverse updates. The past design was useful, but it was irritating how only one post at a time was able to take the spotlight. Now, features and [...]
With a sound that immediately brings to mind early Grizzly Bear, Virginia Beach's We Are Trees have made an impressive second EP stock full of lush harmonies, post-Galaxie 500 guitar tones, and laid-back grooves. Hooks are abundant, and each song is a tight piece of pop that mixes elements from the entire canon of American [...]
As summer begins to melt away like a brilliant setting sun, the weather will soon turn more brisk, the leaves on the trees will die a flashy, colorful death and the air will become more crisp. The first week of September is a seminal time of the year - millions of kids are back in [...] Read more, get songs or stream the entire mix on Indie Rock Cafe
Click image to download full album Sounds like: Tennis, We Are Trees, Sun Airway "TV Girl - Benny and the Jetts" What's so good? When the vocals kick in on "Benny and the Jetts," it's a little off-putting. But stick with the song, and listen to the entire album (which you can download for free on their Facebook page ) and you'll begin to [...]
Click image to download track Sounds like: Sea of Bees, Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeroes, I'm From Barcelona, We Are Trees "Family of the Year - St. Croix" What's so good? I can't believe it's been 6 months since I last wrote about Family of the Year. Since then, they've been hard at work - coming off a tour and recording a [...]
Click image to download track Sounds like: Yellow Ostrich, We Are Trees "Wise Blood - Nosferatu" What's so good? "Nosferatu," the first single off Wise Blood's new EP These Wings , is a shimmery, smokey pop track whose complex layers speak volumes. A little bit of lo-fi and a little bit of electro pop, this track has spine in the form of a repeating [...]

While We Are Trees ' recent Girlfriend EP shows that a lo-fi band can produce clear, delicate songs while not completely abandoning the genre, their live show is a mess. Their music has a catchy eagerness backed up with a more traditional lo-fi sonic crashing guitar (especially on 'Teenage Heartbreak' and 'Girlfriend'), but this delicate balance is lost in the packed and sweaty backroom of Pianos in the East Village. Although the band consists of James Nee on vocals/guitar and Josiah Schlater on drums, it's Nee's influence that really stands out. While his choral voice [...]

Where am I? I've been rockin' for a good 27 hours now, was in the studio with the Oos & Ahhs all day yesterday, pulled an all nighter to finish curating the music for a restaurant and then realized this morning I have to hook you up with this months mixtape - Go, go, go... Life in the fast lane Surely make you lose your mind Life in the fast lane, everything all the time..." - The Eagles This months [...]
Been riding that indie wave as of late, largely due to Foster the People's Pumped Up Kicks . Man that's a catchy chune! Well here's another really cool indie track from UK based band We Are Trees , consisting of lead singer James Nee and Josiah Schlater. This song has been getting mad play on my early morning subway adventures. I find it's a perfect track for zoning out and simply forgetting where you are in space and time as the laid back vocals and simple but catchy hooks lull you into a dream like state. Dig it! [...]
