"...a most unpretentious group melding sunshiney hippie enthusiasm with epic post-rock breakdowns..." - The New York Observer 10/27/08
"Wonder is what comes out of this curious group. Wonder. Big hearted wonder....Big Tree reminds us that the world is ready for experiencing." - Indiemonday.com 12/29/08
"Big Tree is a genre-bending, five-piece bundle of energy... fresh and quirky." - Performing Songwriter Magazine, 3/09
"Big Tree's music personally brings me back to the jams of the swingin' Summer of Love, albeit in a melancholy, jazz-tinged, utterly earnest way. No Elephant 6 revivalists of retropsychy sounds, Big Tree play a brand of grooving, poetic, sometimes knotty folk rock music. I've had the pleasure of catching them play live twice, and they're one of the finest young bands I've seen in ages. Their songs will get stuck in your head only shortly after your heart leaves your mouth from the impact of the perfect vocal harmonies." - Aural Wes, auralwes.blogspot.com, 4/3/09
"Big Tree... absolutely blew me away. Their sound was something of Explosions in the Sky / Broken Social Scene / Most Serene Republic. Epic post-rock elements mixed with proper rock and jazz and killer duet singing from excellent female fronted vocalists. They have a west coast summer tour on the horizon and I highly recommend going to see these guys. They really captured the intimacy of the venue and were one of the tightest bands I've seen in a long time. It was great to see that they have already established a great fan base that was present throughout the show." - OMGNYC, omgnyc.blogspot.com, 4/26/09
"So likeable it hurts." - Ka Leo O Hawaii, 9/10/08
hey kids! so i got in touch with my friend hannah in tucson; she works at hotel congress. she said to get in touch with dan at hotel congress about booking a show there... she said they're pretty filled up but if you get in contact with dan, he can probably hook you up with another venue in town! just a thought in case you're still looking to play in tucson mid-june. she also said to stop by the hotel and say hi to her... she's awesome! so do that if you can... she bartends there.

Wow! Hear the Grass Grow just blew my mind. Oh, the layers of rhythm are wonderful. And the vocals are Number 1 A+!Not to Advertise, but you should check out the first song on my shef city pop music page. There's fun rhythm/vocal things on it. The Drug Opera is highly conceptual in its shallowness. We just wanna have fun and be solid. yesr...
been listening to your album non-stop since we parted ways. really great stuff. hopefully we'll get a chance to do more shows together some day soon. until then, stay in touch!
It is a gloriously sunny day in Oxford and I am listening to your album. Have I told you how incredible it is? It is incredible. have a happy spring xx
