Among the Trees

Arrested Development

A sprawling, 35-track meditation on nature and domesticity. Earthy acoustic guitars and soulful harmonies trade city grit for deep woodland isolation.

Find on Amazon

It's like a hip-hop album recorded in a treehouse during a very long, very peaceful weekend.

A grounded, peaceful meditation on finding spiritual wealth in nature and family.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The transition from the philosophical tension of Luxury Part I into the intimate, spoken-word vulnerability of Part II.
The way the title track Among the Trees uses sprawling six-minute duration to let the woodland atmosphere fully envelop the beat.
The rhythmic interplay of the Baba Oje tracks where elder wisdom meets a steady, earthy percussion bed.
