Released on 10/26/10 by End Up Records, this debut album aptly titled Hard Pop For Blue Trees is nothing short of a cosmic probe into to the canopy of “hard pop”. It journeys through the celestial bodies of our ancestors and emerges as a modern alchemical blend of nature and machine, a contagious lash of drilling beats and hooky melodies that push the boundaries of pop and christen the notion of “experimental bop”.
