“Los Angeles is a lonely city,” says Doug Wooldridge of Tree Machines.
After releasing a debut EP that contained the band’s
hard-to-ignore, first-ever single “Fucking
Off Today,” Wooldridge left
Lawrence, Kansas behind in 2015 to move into a house in the tiny L.A.
neighborhood of Canoga Park. There, with bandmate Patrick Aubry, and producer, engineer, and drummer, Mike Giffin (all three contribute to the
various instrumentation and music of Tree
Machines), Wooldridge turned the
garage into a tracking room, and began creating the first full-length Tree Machines album Up
For Air, scheduled for release in late 2017.
“We went down the rabbit hole building a studio here,”
says Giffin. “We thought it would be
quick, but it quickly became eight months.”
Regardless, the group was determined to create a room
where they could make music that moved, was moving, and was much bigger than
the space in which it was created. The initial result is the powerful
single “Waiting On The Sun,”
released last month, and now followed up by a manic lyric video which
spotlights Wooldridge’s words about “naked
cynicism mixed with a hint of hope and understanding.”
When the band visited L.A. before deciding to move
there, Aubry says that the city “had
a golden aura around it. This was the place dreams happened. This was the place
where opportunity is just around the corner, waiting to jump out and surprise
you.” But, like Wooldridge, Aubry eventually sensed a certain kind
of loneliness that only comes with being ignored. “Los Angeles doesn’t care how
much time or energy or effort or blood or sweat or anger you’ve spent to make
your shitty music. It doesn’t care that you put together a band. It only cares
about the result.”
Up
For Air, the debut album by Los
Angeles-based band Tree Machines,
arrives in 2017, preceded by the singles “Waiting
On The Sun,” “Weights and Stones,”
and “Don’t Give Up.” Members of Tree Machines are available for
interviews. Contact Josh Bloom
