Genre/Influences: Electro-pop, indie-pop.
Background/Info:
Church Of Trees hails
from Canada. They previously released the EP “Primitive Creatures” (2017) and
struck back in 2018 with the album “The Dark & The Light”. Several guest
singers contributed to the work.
Content:
The album takes off with
a kind of ode to Gary Numan with the song “Like Gary Numan”. It’s a melodic
electro-pop song, which is an influence you’ll find back on other cuts as well.
But Church Of Trees also has something indie-pop like and even more commercial
like. Several songs at the end of the album have something ‘sensual’ in the
vocals’ production, which reminds me of Jennifer Page.
+ + + :
The carrying melodies and
choruses are one of the album’s trademarks. “Like Gary Numan” is the right
illustration of this melodic approach. Another interesting song is “Scream In
Silence”, which sounds different and ‘darker’ than the rest –and features
samplings from D. Trump. The work also features a nice selection of talented
female singers.
– – – :
I can’t get away from the
idea some songs have somethingnaïf and a bit teenager-like.
Conclusion:
This work sounds as sweet
pop music for radio broadcastings with a heterogeneous audience.
Best songs:
“Like Gary Numan”, “Scream
In Silence”.
