Treetops ??? Permission / When I Was Younger {Arbor}

Treetops (a.k.a. Mike Pollard) creates semi disturbed droning ambient space with minimalist sounds & processed vocals.?? Enveloping delayed reverb saturated unnerving drift spaces and tones that lumber, Jack.?? Hear almost tinny psychedelic tones & resonances shifting about, glistening & whistling.?? Subtle muted moans dampened in the murky mossy tree trunk hollows.?? Pulpy tape loops & other strange sapling samples seem to slowly swirl deep inside a seldom traversed woodland realm where some dimensional rift was pried open by ancient roots deep beneath the forest floor.?? Or perhaps this prevailing sinister mist does indeed enshroud the treetops themselves permeating the night air, alerting nocturnal creatures to the splendid magic arboreal terror approaching swiftly across the gnarled boughs and crooked branches stretched outwardly towards a pale fog obscured moon.?? Pete Swanson of Yellow Swans mastered the recording itself but the actual tree doctor who nurtured this timbered sound structure knows this forest like the back of his calloused hands.?? Don???t be a sap, make like a tree & cradle in the Treetops before the bough breaks.?? Leaf the puns alone, huh? Limited to 300 copies.
