Visions of Trees inhabit the shadowy intersection of 90s rave nostalgia and the murky, occult-adjacent aesthetics of the witch house movement. Their sound is defined by a sense of immense space, created through heavy use of reverb and delay that makes Sara Atalar's vocals feel like they are echoing off the walls of a vast, lightless cathedral. It is electronic music that feels both ancient and modern, grounded by heavy, rhythmic pulses.
What sets them apart is the sophisticated pop structure buried beneath the layers of grit and atmosphere. While their peers often leaned into pure noise or lo-fi distortion, this duo maintains a melodic clarity and a 'disco-noir' sensibility. The production is intricate, featuring sharp synth stabs that recall early house music, but slowed down and dragged through a dark, psychedelic filter.
Start with their self-titled debut album to experience the full breadth of their sound. It is a record that rewards deep listening, moving from aggressive, danceable tracks to slow-burning, ambient meditations. It is the ideal soundtrack for those who find beauty in the darker, more mysterious corners of the electronic spectrum.
