Today I'm mostly listening to....... Visions Of Trees. What's especially good about these guys is they are genuinely doing their own thing. And that thing is kind-of-old-fashioned-but-definitely-with-a-modern-twist electro music. It's ethereal stuff, sometimes harking back to 90s minimal dance, but, as I said, it's got it's own thing going on. There's all kinds of clever production sound, meaning tracks are busy yet minimal at the same time. Every track hooks you in with something - its tribal noises, its interesting harmonies or - dare I say it - its funky riddims.
If you enjoyed the Telepathe album released at the beginning of last year, then this may be just the thing you need to survive the last of the long winter we've had in quirky electro land. Or even if the sugary goodness of Au Revoir Simone floats your boat, this might be something for you.
Visions Of Trees' debut EP, 'Sometimes It Kills', is out now and can be procured from the Royal Rhino Flying Records store online. It's all lovely stuff, but the title track itself is a particular gem. For now, though, here's 'Cult Of Cobras' for your viewing pleasure:
