Vinyl LP pressing + bonus 7" single. Housed in gatefold jacket. Includes digital download. Trees Speak's new album, 'Vertigo of Flaws: Emancipation of the Dissonance and Temperaments in Irrational Waveforms' is a vast leap into an ocean of space and sound, a quantum leap into cybernetics, biology, anti-gravity, time travel, dream speech and transfiguration. A seriously next step release! 'Vertigo of Flaws' is a mighty one-and-a-half hours of music that is surely going to be a defining point in their musical career, a giant leap into the sonic unknown, an epic exploration of intensity and sound. Alongside their now trademark German krautrock motoric-beat rhythms, angular New York post-punk attitude, tripped-out 60s spy soundtrack, psyche-rock, and 70s synthesizers and vocoders, you will also hear a new cosmic spacial awareness (both personal inner space and galactic outer space) and a truly wilful pushing of sonic boundaries ' as police sirens, static noise, alarms, radio signals, avant-garde voices, and orchestral string quartets all collide to add beautiful dissonance to uber-powerful, intense, addictive and propulsive rhythms ' in the process creating a truly unique soundscape that Trees Speak have made wholly their own. If you ever wanted to hear Can, Hawkwind, Destroy All Monsters, Pere Ubu, electric eels, John Cage, Liquid Liquid, Tangerine Dream, Suicide, Neu!, Laurie Spiegel, Art Ensemble of Chicago, John Barry, Mother Mallard's Portable Masterpiece Company, Sun Ra, Stockhausen, John Carpenter, Electro-Acoustic and Musique Concrete and Mars in one band - this is it! Trees Speak are from Tucson, Arizona and their music often draws on the cosmic nighttime 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. The album Vertigo of Flaws was recorded in Brooklyn, New York, and Tucson, Arizona during the plague of 2021.
