Lost in the Trees is Ari Picker’s pop passion project. The group started out as his one man bedroom recording project, and since then has evolved to become something of a folk orchestra, with a full backing band and string section. In 2010, Lost in the Trees released their first album in their current, more orchestral iteration, called All Alone in an Empty House. Lost in the Trees recently released a new album, entitled
A Church That Fits Our Needs. The album has been very well received, and its release brought them national attention. Tomorrow night, Lost in the Trees will play a a show at The Mohawk. Listen to their live set in Studio 1a RIGHT HERE!

That’s one of the things that makes Poor Moon sound so special: this band grew out of the songs, not vice-versa.

Assorted timbres decorate their songs — marimba, harpsichord, fretless zither — but this isn’t everything-but-the-kitchen-sink arranging. Whatever the instrumentation, the sense of choosing the right tool for the job always prevails. Thoughtful,... » read more
