From their iconic blue boiler suits to their subtle Father Ted references, Ten Eighty Trees are fast becoming one of the most talked about artists in the North East. Their EP is a self-described exploration into the pressures and stress of modern living with a pitch of existential dread thrown in for good measure. The band celebrated the release with a sold-out headline show in Newcastle, bringing an energy on stage that is contagious, with their audience lapping up the experience.
There’s a sort of hidden secret that the best creativity emerges from the darkest times…something that has really been capitalised on here.
The EP’s five cuts include the tracks ‘Wear Me Down’, ‘The Incubator’ and ‘Can’t Live Twice’, all of which deal with heavy subject matters whilst also reconfirming the creative energies and passions within the trio’s work.
The raw emotion in the lyrics and the upbeat melodies create a balance that is both haunting and uplifting; it’s work to take real pride in.
This release is a must-listen for fans of alternative rock.
You can listen to the EP now on all major streaming platforms.
