About

Hearing Trees

"This is epic indie, pretty and admirable in equal doses. Signals the arrival of a new force, a band we can all get behind." mp3hugger

"While we are still early in 2018, one band has already delivered some of the best lyrical lines of the year...It’s an emotionally rewarding experience from a band worth getting to know ASAP." The Revue

The group’s lush, layered brand of anxious rock is built atop a foundation inspired by R.E.M., Matthew Good, and The Tragically Hip and tinged with the more modern and atmospheric musings of Wintersleep and The National. Coupled with sometimes cryptic, always captivating poetry, Hearing Trees offers a masterclass in sweet-sounding catharsis.


The Perms

The Perms’ 5th studio album "Sofia Nights" is special. In an industry where bands are lucky to last past their first single, this group has stood the test of time and continued to find success in creating stick-in-your-head songs. Their friendship and shared passion for making music that matters has been the motivation that drives this band forward.

When The Perms started writing for the new album, it became clear that the band wanted to push the boundaries of their songwriting while keeping the hooks and energy that have created their own sound. There was a renewed sense of freedom and an “anything goes” mentality. The only rule was that the song was most important. If an idea worked, it was embraced. If it didn’t, the band quickly moved on. The band thrived in this creative atmosphere and the results were 10 fresh tracks that showcased the group’s ability to write harder-edged, hook-filled songs that effectively transfer over to their energetic live performances.
