Lost in the Trees had an amazing 2010. They joined forces with Anti- Records, released a powerful new version of All Alone In An Empty House, toured the USA and Canada, filmed a Take Away Show in Montreal with La Blogotheque, filmed an NPR Tiny Desk Concert and performed in front of the United States Congress in DC, recorded a Daytrotter Session, shot their first music video, and even had a custom ale brewed in their honor. But worry not, Lost in the Trees is gearing up for 2011 to be even more special and spectacular.
On February 01, 2011, Trekky Records will release the deluxe, re-recorded and expanded reissue of Lost in the Trees' Time Taunts Me. Trekky initially released Time Taunts Me as a seven-song EP back in 2007, which served as many listeners' introduction to Ari Picker's hauntingly unique and compelling brand of orchestral folk. The EP won glowing reviews; Pitchfork Media called it "orchestral and ambitious...[an] intensely lush collection", while PopMatters likened it to "the soundtrack to your favorite indie film". Time Taunts Me quickly went out of print.
Over the past three years, between extensive touring and multiple releases, Picker found himself returning to the bedroom recordings of Time Taunts Me, fleshing out and augmenting the baroque compositions until they were as big as they sounded in his head. Picker also recorded three new songs, written during the Time Taunts Me sessions but never put to tape, expanding the seven-song EP into a proper full-length. This is Time Taunts Me the way Picker always envisioned it; and the way the world should hear it now. The album is a snapshot of a younger Ari Picker, searching for peace and shelter from external forces, discovering his musical voice and creating a vibrant, orchestrated sonic palette. Trekky Records is excited to present Time Taunts Me in our signature 3-part LP+CD+MP3 package. This is the first time the album will be available on vinyl, so we're celebrating by pressing the record on beautiful, red wax! Time Taunts Me can be pre-ordered now from Trekky Records' Online Store.
A Church That Fits Our Needs will be out on ANTI- and Trekky Records on March 20, 2012.

Tall Trees

It is dark and beautiful but somehow remains in the realm of pop. The instrumentation is
astounding. The pianos, strings and saws ache with the somber wonder of Christmas.
