REVIEW: Treefight For Sunlight - A Collection Of Vibrations For Your Skull

It rarely happens; when upon first listen of a new track or new artist you find yourself grappled by the grandiose beauty of what you are hearing. Like, for example, when I heard Of Montreal's Satanic Panic In The Attic years ago. Even further back; my first time hearing Radiohead as a teenager. Music that represents in essence; what life is and should be - beautiful. The following is the product of such an experience.

A Collection Of Vibrations For Your Skull is a newly released album by Danish quartet Treefight For Sunlight and is jammed with ten tracks of pure pop genius. These Danes not only sing like sirens (...or the beach boys?), but know how to play their instruments too. A youthful blend of uplifting hooks and complex avant-pop arrangements create memorable tracks on every level while three lead singers bounce off each other in a never ending vocal power struggle of epic proportions. The production is so tasteful - they make no mistake in their medium, as richly woven instrumental interventions keep the ears endeared to no end.

The record's third track, The Universe Is A Woman, takes anthemic proportions as voices become interweaving pieces of a complex yet beautiful melodic puzzle. Riddle In Rhymes and Facing The Sun expose the quartet's pop power, with the eloquence and unabashed attention to detail reserved for perfectionists of the worst(or best) kind. With every aspect of their sound carefully calculated and brilliantly executed, A Collection Of Vibrations For Your Skull is surely one of this year's best indie pop records.



After many many listens, A Collection Of Vibrations For Your Skull is exactly what it claims to be and much much more. Vibrations for the skull, food for the soul, medicine for the ears. Highly recommended.

This record is out October 4th on Danish imprint Tambourhinoceros and can be digitally purchased here.
