It probably sounds close to ridiculous now given the current state of technological advancement but I can clearly remember getting our first landline phone installed and the highlight for many weeks being the moment it actually rang. Everything stopped through the sheer amazement that another human voice could be at the end of the line. When it came to discovering new music the electronic wizardry available was extremely limited, confined to specialised radio shows in the evening and with the new phone on the go I often had to give them a miss too. Nowadays the possibilities are endless, afforded [...]
Granted, We Are Trees haven’t released any new material in quite a long while; not a single, a demo, an EP, nothing. It’s not just that they haven’t released any new music, but little has been heard of them whatsoever. Even with the omniscient power of Google to aid me, a rather extensive search yielded [...]

I stumbled across We Are Trees on Youtube. You know when you search for a song and somehow find yourself clicking on link after link after link? When I clicked on We Are Trees it seemed like time itself stopped and nothing but their music and I existed in this world. Mind blowing, right? The group is often compared to Grizzly Bear, which is an accolade in itself. They've released two EPs and as far as I know have yet to release a proper long-playing record. Their brand of indie lo-fi folk rock is brilliantly produced [...]

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 [...]
