Forest & The Trees Missions CD

2014 release form the Swedish Indie Pop duo. Hailing from Stockholm, couple Linnea and Joel Edin, AKA the Forest & the Trees are a striking addition to the canon of quintessential bittersweet Indie Pop to emerge in recent years. Creating delicately crafted songs, their work showcases a talent for combining playful melodies with the perfectly balanced harmonies of their vocals. Drawing on the music they listened to as teenagers, bands like Popsicle, the Cardigans and the Cocteau Twins, has driven their sound to develop precision, while retaining a balance of the carefree and complex. Such a middle ground was hard to find, so despite early plans to produce the record themselves, they eventually decided to bring in Johannes Berglund, who'd previously worked with the Radio Dept. Shout Out Louds and the Knife, seeking some necessary objectivity.
