Timefold: Vinyl LP

Label: Soul Jazz Records
Release Date: 15th November

Trees Speak, super prolific and ever expanding on their sound, which is being hinted at as bringing together imaginary 1920s silent movie soundtracks, with hypnotic motorik rhythms, post punk and sci-fi/Italo horror synths ala the Stranger Things soundtrack. I've not heard a single note of this album but I've never not been completely hypnotised by one of their releases.

TimeFold is the new album by Trees Speak. This release sees the group expanding their musical horizons once more, from vast intergalactic landscapes to imaginary 1920s silent movie soundtracks, seamlessly blended with hypnotic motoric krautrock driving rhythms, angular post-punk, Stranger Things-esque synthesizer motifs, ambient sound sculptures and more to create a truly unique sound.

Trees Speak are based in Tucson, Arizona, comprised around the duo Daniel Martin Diaz and Damian Diaz. Their music is heavily influenced by the cosmic magic of the natural desert landscapes of Arizona, creating a unique and captivating sound that is both experimental and innovative.

‘Trees Speak’ relates to the idea of future technologies storing information and data in trees and plants - using them as hard drives - and the idea that Trees communicate collectively.

Their prolific output for Soul Jazz Records began in 2020 with ‘Ohms’. TimeFold is their sixth album (in four years) for the label.
