Tree
Machines built a safe room in Los Angeles.
Not for security of the conventional kind, but for a place to unleash, and make
the kind of music that is at once vulnerable and strong, without fear of
consequence. Anthems for times that don’t make sense, but carve a path forward.
Call it a studio, if you have to. But you don’t have to.
Here, Douglas
Wooldridge, Patrick Aubry, and producer
Mike Giffin (all three contribute to
the various instrumentation and music) have been creating Up For Air, the debut Tree Machines full-length album. Its
first single, “Waiting On The Sun,” out today and premiered
via Popdust, is “one of the best examples
of the feel and vibe of Up For Air as a whole,” says Wooldridge, the band’s lyricist and
vocalist. “Naked cynicism mixed with a hint of hope and understanding that no
matter what, another day will come.”
The upcoming album follows-up 2015’s debut Tree Machines EP, which contained the
single “Fucking Off Today,” a
hard-to-ignore opening salvo that expressed Midwestern malaise (which these
former Lawrence, Kansans know all too well) in a new way. Three more Tree Machines singles appeared during the
summer of that year.
Once in Los Angeles (Canoga Park, to be exact), the
band proceeded to go down the rabbit hole building the (very) small studio, an
effort that took almost a year by itself. Regardless, they were determined to
create a room where they could make music that moved, was moving, and was
bigger than the tiny space in which it was created.
“I think people are going to be surprised that guys
from Kansas can write music with a strong social conscience and unique ideas,” Aubry concludes. “Plus, it sounds
pretty fucking good, too.”
Up For Air,
the debut album by Los Angeles-based band Tree
Machines, arrives in 2017. The album's first single “Waiting On The Sun” is streaming
now.
