Mostly Trees

Facts

Mostly Trees has been collaborating in various forms for more than a decade. The Minneapolis quartet includes members of rock outfits Peddler, Busey, Young and Tender, and Ghost Towns of the West.

Their self-titled debut under the Mostly Trees moniker exhibits a sound that will ring familiar to fans of post-grunge and shoegaze genres, with bursts of psychedelia afforded in no small part by their judicious use of guitar effects pedals. This was largely spurred by lead guitarist Joel Korte, owner of Chase Bliss Audio, who outfits the band's pedalboards and has worked with such notable acts as Radiohead, Kings of Leon, Tycho, Wilco, and John Mayer. Singer Jon Po provides vocals that carry an almost tangible emotion, exposing raw nerves and vulnerable lyrics on loss and personal growth.
