That's the second time I heard that name today. I'll check it out.

But yeah, Tree Wave is like a cross of m83's ambient stuff, MBV's shoegaze, and all done on DotMatrix printers, ataris 2600s, commodore 64s, etc.


I really liked that EP Tree Wave did in 2004. Have they done anything since then? I'd be interested if they have.

When I interviewed the dude from Tree Wave he said that they were really just concentrating on shows (and yet the only time they've been in Denton since I moved-- Treewave canceled) but that an album was kinda coming along. It didn't really seem too promising; they don't seem to take the music aspect of it that seriously.

With this band I find you need a break. I took about a 3 month break before playing their album again. I still like it.

"Magic Spells" goes on a little too long for me. Would be better if it was cut from 6 minutes to 2-3 minutes.
