Burning Trees EP

by The Collection

supported by

Tim Molloy This EP is a re-recorded sample of their longer first EP, which was full of heart but a bit raw. These songs, however, are strong and well-crafted. Each track begs me to listen to every lyric and feel the effects of every measure. Their honesty, earnestness, and fervor leave a lasting impression and warm my heart with each listen. Not in how they sound, but in how they make me feel, the Collection reminds me of The Avett Brothers' middle albums. Favorite track: I Saw Colours.

about

"After my first band broke up, I started to experiment with multi-tracking. It was the only way I could get the feeling back of having a band, even though I was playing by myself. The ending result was the first 'the Collection' album, 'Burning Bushes, Moving Trees'. I recorded it in my parents basement and in multiple dorm rooms between the various colleges I dropped out of during the years I was making it. And, while I was proud of the album, it still had all the characteristics of a first album: loud background noise, less than listenable vocals, terribly mixed instruments, etc.
During the time I was working on 'the Collection EP', we had started putting together a live band. At first, we were just together the recordings in a cool way live, but eventually it became an actual band. We decided to we wanted to do a few of our older songs from the first album in a way that did our live show (at the time) full justice.
So we re-recorded these songs together, our first Collection recordings as a full band, from the 2012-2013. At the same time, however, we started working on 'Ars Moriendi', and these got lost beneath the new project.
While these no longer represent how we currently sound, play, or believe as a band, they still feel like a step in our bands history, and we're excited to release these recordings as a milestone of where we've been. We hope you enjoy them"

Dear Wormwood
by The Oh Hellos

supported by 18 fans who also own “Burning Trees EP”

it's such a beautiful album of grieving and loss and acceptance. it speaks to a particular kind of grief -- not a grieving of one who is lost, but the grieving for one who is still present and still causing pain. i love the last song most because while it could end in pain, or end with the narrators decision to permanently push this person out of their life and that would be justified, it doesn't. instead, it offers something. what is offered? acceptance. hope. and a chance for redemption janmisha

I absolutley LOVE the harmonies and the strings with this. It is BEAUTIFUL. You have such a way with layering those things together. It meshes so flawlessly. With the whole EP though I really enjoy the "lived in" feel to it. norma_grace
