Trees Speak - Shadow Forms

Shadow Forms is the second studio album by American psychedelic rock and electronic duo Trees Speak, released in October 2020 via Soul Jazz Records.

Trees Speak are Daniel Martin Diaz and Damian Diaz from Tucson, Arizona and their music often draws on the cosmic night-time magic of Arizona’s natural desert landscapes. ‘Trees Speak’ relates to the idea of future technologies storing information and data in trees and plants - using them as hard drives – and the idea that Trees communicate collectively.

Trees Speak’s new album Shadow Forms is a blend of 1970s German electronic and ‘motorik’ Krautrock instrumentals (think Harmonia, Can, Cluster, Popul Vuh, Neu!), haunting and powerful 1960s & 1970s soundtracks (think Italian prog-rock Goblin and John Carpenter horror movies, Morricone and existential John Barry spy movies), together with a New Nork no wave electronic synth and guitar analogue DIY-ness (think Suicide, anything on Soul Jazz’s New York Noise series or Eno's New York No Wave)!

Trees Speak’ segue together all these elements into ‘Shadow Forms,’ which follows on from their critically-acclaimed debut LP OHMS, released on Soul Jazz Records less than six months ago.

The album includes an exclusive bonus 7” 45 RPM single ‘Outtake 3’ and ‘Transmitter’ that will only be available with the first pressings of the vinyl edition of this amazing and ground-breaking new album.

This album is on black vinyl with a bonus 7” vinyl single and download code, pressed in the UK via Soul Jazz Records.
