The bug that drew the Lawrence, Kansas-bred band Tree Machines – vocalist and lyricist Doug Wooldridge, his bandmate Patrick Aubry, and their producer, engineer, and drummer, Mike Giffin – to Los Angeles two years ago is about to yield its most impressive result to date. Up For Air, the album the band has labored over since moving into a house in the tiny L.A. neighborhood of Canoga Park and turning the garage into a tracking room, is now scheduled for release on September 1^st.

The celebrate the completion of Up For Air and give the new songs a chance to breathe, Tree Machines will launch a week of tour dates on the first day of summer (June 21^st), including an appearance at The Raccoon Motel in Davenport, Iowa presented by former Daytrotter-founder Sean Moeller, currently of Moeller Nights, who previously hosted the band after being one of the first industry tastemakers to discover Tree Machines upon the release of its hard-to-ignore, first-ever single “Fucking Off Today” in 2015.

A full Up For Air album track listing is forthcoming (the album is currently being mastered by Greg Calbi [Born To Run, Graceland] at Sterling Sound), but, for now, two singles from the album, “Waiting On The Sun” and “Weights and Stones” are already available.

“In our old band, Doug and I had always talked about an electronic component to our songs,” explains Aubry of “Weights and Stones.” “We were listening to Radiohead’s The King of Limbs, Alt-J’s debut, and Glass Animals. Needless to say, after forming Tree Machines, and as we were working on “Weights and Stones,” we were enjoying taking it to an electronic, clubby type of sound. And then we heard Lewis Del Mar’s song ‘Loud(y),’ and it really opened our eyes. I think of ‘Weights and Stones’ as our official ‘hello.’”

A music video for the “Waiting On The Sun” single is also out now.

“The shoot began after a couple drinks at a dive bar near the Paradise Motel,” Wooldridge says about the sequences that prompted PureVolume to reference the “vintage L.A.” of “The Terminator” in its coverage of the clip. “We had just wrapped up a few establishing shots when some patrons of the motel left the room we were parked in front of and left the door wide open. We spent 30 minutes filming inside a room we hadn't paid for hoping that the couple that had left weren't gonna drop back in!” he says.

See Tree Machines on tour from June 21^st through July 2^nd. Up For Air, the band’s debut album, is scheduled for release on September 1^st, 2017. Members of Tree Machines are available for interviews. Contact Josh Bloom at Fanatic for more information.
