Out now, Newcastle alt-psych-rockers Ten Eighty Trees share their new single, 'Superbloom'.
Recorded at In Heart Studios in Blaydon, Gateshead with fellow North East rocker George Collings of GroundCulture in the production chair, the trio - now on to their sixth single in the last year since forming , including 'Lip Service' heard back in March - drop a full-on psych-rock belter in 'Superbloom'.
Clocking in at just over four-minutes, filled with big hooks, gnarly drum sounds, and off-kilter rhythms that create a massive wall of sound.
"I’d been reading about a rare phenomenon in the deserts of California where blossoming wildflowers occurred on such a scale they could be seen from space," explains frontman and guitarist, Nathan Newton. “I already had a riff which sounded like a space rock version of something that might soundtrack an episode of Planet Earth and I thought this would provide the perfect score to these lyrical themes of perseverance through hardships.
“I liked the idea of something so tremendous and vibrant finding a way to thrive in such a barren inhospitable place. 'Superbloom' signifies the pivotal moments of change we experience throughout our lives where everything seemingly falls into focus, justifying our time spent slogging away to achieve our goals in life.”
