For those of you that missed it, German artist Bartholomäus Traubeck is a genius. Why? Well, Traubeck has created a way to translate tree rings into music in a project appropriately titled "Years." These circular patterns inside tree trunks have long since been a way to learn about the life of a tree, which seems like a rather dry way of discovering the details on these significant organisms. On the other hand, music has always presented itself as an exciting and terrific way of documenting history, as well as the best, most genuine way of expressing one's story, [...]

Rhis is Seperation (ft. Shelf Nunny) - Tree Whether or not you're finding bands in the blogosphere and beyond that you love right now, there's no denying that a ton of them are beginning to sound really similar. There's also a camp of artists who are different for the sake of being different, which I personally find even more frustrating. Amidst that clatter, though, there are also emerging acts that manage to do something new and interesting - better than the hundreds of artists next to them. This is the category [...]
12 Producers to keep an eye on in 2012 It's hard being a producer in this day & age; the barrier for entry is low and so are the financial rewards, while competition is high. Many times tracks are mis-tagged or the producer is unidentified. And the need to churn out constant material means that it can be hard to rest on a distinctive style without burning out. There's been no shortage of talent in the industry, though; for the past 12 months, these 12 beatmakers proved that they had the unique vision to stand [...]
Our homie tree keeps the hits rollin' with "Universal" (feat. Ariel Thiermann). The song, which also features Finn Rivera and Shelf Nunny , is captivating from its inception, clear and concise proof that previous offerings "People" and "This is Separation" were not simple flukes. Per his Soundcloud: "This track is sending positive energy to the beautiful people of planet earth." If that's not a reason to partake in the process of creative actualization, I don't know what is! tree sings songs about the slow movement of time and the presence of a universal [...]
Words by Jim I'm on a Bandcamp kick lately. I've had some good look. Earlier in the week I brought you the awesome band The White Album from Denmark and today I've got The Oh Hello's (and it actually worked backwards. I got The White Album based on the recommendation of The Oh Hello's . Mind blowing.). I'm not sure I 100% agree with their apostrophe use, but their EP is so good that I'm not going to start any grammatical fights. I'll warn you now, they [...]

The oft Tree collaborator, Shelf Nunny recently dropped this abstract and oberst/schwartzman toned track. Much more "New Life" showcases an interesting form of writing and production talent from a budding midwest artist. Shelf Nunny - New Life Shelf Nunny ( Soundcloud ) ( tumblr ) Rating 8

++Yes, it would be too easy to compare Limes to David Berman. I like "surprising ability to take apathetic singing to a whole new level, " better as a description. ++For some reason, whenever I read the name of Noel Gallagher's latest project High Flying Birds , it always reminds me of the phrase the Fickle Flying Finger of Fate . And he's giving the world a giant bird. Noel would probably appreciate the sentiment. ++ Good luck, Jonathan. [...]
