Our Take

HELDBYTREES’ latest offering, "Solace," is a whimsical journey through the forest of acoustic dreams. This album sees the band effortlessly blend folk sensibilities with indie charm, creating a sound that is as enchanting as it is captivating.

The opening track, "Whispers in the Wind," sets the tone for the album with its gentle melodies and introspective lyrics. Lead singer Willow Willowson’s voice floats effortlessly over the lush instrumentation, inviting listeners to take a stroll through the band’s musical landscape.

As the album progresses, HELDBYTREES continue to impress with their ability to craft intricate arrangements that never feel overcrowded. Tracks like "Moonlit Serenade" and "Forest Fables" showcase the band’s dynamic range, seamlessly blending acoustic guitars, strings, and subtle electronic elements.

While "Solace" may not reinvent the folk music wheel, HELDBYTREES’ attention to detail and knack for songwriting shine through on every track. This is an album that rewards repeated listens, revealing new layers and nuances with each spin.

Ultimately, "Solace" is a comforting retreat into a world of musical magic, where the trees whisper secrets and the melodies dance like leaves in the wind. HELDBYTREES have proven once again why they are a force to be reckoned with in the indie folk scene. So grab your headphones, head out into nature, and let "Solace" be your soundtrack to a peaceful day in the woods.
