Influences
Sweet harmonies and sugary tea. Dark grooves and sour milk from our rehearsal room. Super Furry Animals, The Doors, The Stones (Roses and Rolling), anything with a decent melody and a foot-tappable groove.
Sounds Like
Dark, melodic pop. Kind of like a forest at dusk - nice but kind of sinister at the same time, a bit like Paul Daniels.

BIOGRAPHY
An intrinsic love of sweet melodies, layered harmonies, dark grooves and sugary tea was at the heart of just about everything We Are Trees did. However, they are now deceased. Ended. Finished. We Are Trees thank everyone who came and watched or listened or supported and especially those people who managed to do all three. Much love

THE AUTUMN DEFENSE (two members of WILCO) + PLUSH (Liam Hayes) Sunday 7th September @ Clwb Ifor Bach, Cardiff
The Autumn Defense is a collaboration between Wilco/Uncle Tupelo bassist John Stirratt and Wilco multi-instrumentalist Pat Sansone who has also produced records for the likes of Andrew Bird and Joseph Arthur. They have released 3 albums of beautifully arranged, organic, wispy folk-rock and singer-songwriter musings.
"Comfort music for the soul...” UNCUT **** "never less than utterly gorgeous" THE WORD "reference points include Nick Drake and CSN, Bread, Big Star and the essence of Love, Steely Dan and a dozen others" MOJO **** "edifying and beautifully textured" DAILY MIRROR **** "soft rock at it's most elegant." TIME OUT "Soft, dreamy and bittersweet” WASHINGTON POST "Warming, gorgeous and delightful” DAVID FRICKE, SENIOR EDITOR, ROLLING STONE
Liam Hayes appeared as himself in High Fidelity and his band Plush's long lost masterpiece 'Fed' is currently receiving rave reviews across the music press including 5/5 in Uncut, 4/5 in Mojo, Q, Plan B, NME 8/10 etc. A regular collaborator, he has also worked with Will Oldham (Bonnie Prince Billy), appearing on keyboards across the Palace era output, and also played on records by Royal Trux.
"Fed is beautifully excessive, ornamented with dazzling soul/pop arrangements. And the songs are glorious..." UNCUT ***** "A banquet of sonic gorgeousness" NME 8/10 "Fed is something of a lost classic" MOJO **** "Fed can be finally heard as a testament to Hayes's widescreen obsessions" Q **** "Perfect takes time" PLAN B “a soulful symphonic masterpiece” ROLLING STONE
