If Only the Trees

How are you doing?

@williamofhughes Thank you for listening :)

@ifonlythetrees Your album is great. Really great.

Never been more proud of anything I've worked on than Drop the Air with Jon as part of @ifonlythetrees. We wrote songs in our dorm rooms at UMD and apartments in DC. The truth is, I'm still learning what it's about. But I did my best to write it down.

We've been asked by a few people what Drop the Air is about. Steven has explained: @ifonlythetrees/drop-the-air-heres-what-it-s-about-9afb75e41265" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">medium.com/@ifonlythetree…

Thank you, @NoiseEverything ! "A beautiful little post-rock gem with a very interesting vocal performance. Worth your time, it’s something special." everythingisnoise.net/features/the-n…

Łabandzi Śpiew with the super nice review of DROP THE AIR -- thank you! labandzi.blogspot.com/2018/09/if-onl…

DROP THE AIR is out now. open.spotify.com/album/2iSdGsLM… According to one listener, it sounds like @TheNational fell down a well, and that... is 100% correct.

"So Much Plenty Of" changed a lot on its way to appearing on Drop the Air this year, but some things, like the piano that appears throughout the song, were recorded back in 2010.

8 years ago today, we visited the home studio of our friend Dan to record the first two songs we had ever completed as If Only the Trees. One was called "Malakh," which has never been released. The other was "So Much Plenty Of." This picture, taken by Dan, is from that session.

@WhelmedRecords @HOLY_FAWN Of course! Still loving the album, Seer and Take Me With You in particular.

One of my favorite genres is very heavy music that is very gorgeous and very deeply felt. It's something we tried to touch on our album, and it's something that @HOLY_FAWN absolutely nails on theirs. holyfawn.bandcamp.com

We released DROP THE AIR a week ago today and we're stunned by the reception. Thank you to everyone who has listened & enjoyed the music, and thank you to those who have reached out. To see people connecting to songs that we spent years feeling so deeply is humbling. Thank you.
