What starts as a Grizzly Bear-styled, barebones acoustic crescendos into something much more grandiose. Strings swell in, picking up the humble acoustic strumming, matching it with dirty electric guitar. The boom of kick drum sounds more like a timpani filling every inch of space in a cathedral. When the boom lays low, the song is pulled along by a rustle and patter of brushes on the snare drum. With violin and cello beautifully dancing throughout, it has an air of majesty as if it were some modern day hymn. Despite its lo-fi roots, "Dear Chan Marshall" sounds rather heavenly.
We Are Trees is the project of Virginia Beach native James Nee, featuring Rocky Capizzi (violin), Pearl McReynolds (cello), and Josiah Schlater (percussion).
