Taken By Trees Release New Video for "Dreams" Other Worlds out October 2 on Secretly Canadian

Taken By Trees has released a new video for the track "Dreams" today at Gawker. "Dreams" is the first single off of Taken By Trees' forthcoming album, Other Worlds.
The piece was shot & directed by Amanda Marsalis, who worked
closely with Trees' mastermind Victoria Bergsman while Bergsman
recorded in Hawaii.
If the track itself is what Baeble Music calls a "Hammock Simulator," the video is a full-on Vacation Holodeck. Marsalis presents the viewer with a vicarious yet astonishingly intimate exploration of the Hawaiian landscape led by Bergsman herself. The lush
plant life, beachscapes and gorgeous sunsets are all on stunning
display. Marsalis says, "Victoria and I created an intimate dream world
in Hawaii. The final piece is a true collaboration."
The 12" single for "Dreams" is available for pre-order now and features the album version, an extended instrumental and dub version of the track. Other Worlds will be released October 2 on Secretly Canadian.
Taken By Trees will play a handful of US shows this
summer, performing later this month at Gorilla vs Bear II in Dallas as
well as the food & music party Noisette sponsored by Noise Pop in
San Francisco. Victoria herself will DJ at The Geffen Contemporary at MOCA on August 24 as
part of the PLAY MOCA Festival, a multimedia event series with
performances by Cults and Lord Huron and visuals by Emmett Malloy. The
group will then play a special record release party with guests Big
Search at LA's Bootleg Theater on September 26 before heading out on
tour with Jens Lekman this fall. Full dates are listed below.

PRAISE FOR TAKEN BY TREES
"Utterly transportive"-GORILLA VS. BEAR "Blissful pop" -STEREOGUM "Lending her shy detachment to Peter Bjorn and John's world-conquering "Young Folks", she participated in a moment likely to define Swedish pop for many casual listeners…[East of Eden is] a masterful, hypnotic album that draws on a world of influences but is ultimately limited by none." -PITCHFORK "She transforms a Sufi song into a lullaby, and like her simultaneously near-and-distant voice, turns a faraway place into home." -FILTER |
