Independent post-punk and shoegaze project The Faded Trees released a debut EP, “Strange Summer”, moving between post-punk tension and immersive shoegaze textures.

The EP runs four tracks: “The Faded Trees,” “Vision Of Nothing,” “Strange Summer” and “Sometimes.” The project centers on dense, layered guitars, hypnotic bass lines and melancholic atmospheres, favoring intensity over immediacy.

A DIY record built on contrast

“Strange Summer” was born from a contrast between the surface light of summer and a quiet unease underneath, according to the project. The EP reflects a self-produced, DIY approach, with close attention paid to both sonic depth and visual identity.
