Treetops
Permission/When I Was Younger

Arbor #100

LP
£8.99


”Spirited youth and the intense magnification of focused energies chart the recent zones for Treetops. Utilizing tapes, casio keyboards, vocals and a variety of other sources, the path to earth bound nature drone is firmly rooted in electricity. Like the combination of the glacial drifts of massive rocks and the movements of air, the sources meld into blissed out meditative drones: ceremonial music rising into the future to get out of the past. Infinite ancients; constantly progressing, constantly evolving. Mastered by Pete Swanson (D. Yellow Swans); in an edition of 300 copies in proprinted foldover sleeves featuring photography by Kyle Parker (Infinite Body). The B-Side features a remastered and extended version of the “When I Was Younger” 2xc10 (arbor69) from last winter.” – Arbor.

Arbor #137

12” EP
£11.99


New project from Mike Pollard (Treetops) that moves from free-floating drone work into a more deliberately nuanced compositional setting. The sound has some of the endlessly magnified slow-motion feel of Andrew Chalk or Justin Meyer’s work, with waves of entropic melody dissolving into themselves again and again. The sky blue void on the cover works as the perfect visual counterpoint to the pure deep-field tones of the music. Plays at 45rpm. Edition of 400 copies.
