The Hidden Hand

Description

"If These Trees Could Talk offers with The Hidden Hand a continuation of their dark and atmospheric soundscapes, while bringing a sense of resolution and maturity. The band manages to evolve its musical language without losing the grounding that has defined its identity since its beginnings. Their approach relies on a very orchestral construction, notably thanks to the use of three guitars covering the entire sound spectrum: the bass anchors the lows, the rhythm guitars occupy the mid-range, and the lead guitar soars in the highs. This organization allows for smooth transitions between lighter and heavier passages, enhancing the cinematic dynamic of their music. The single 'Blurry Creatures' perfectly illustrates this aesthetic: intense riffs, epic builds, airy atmospheres, and syncopated delays combine in a balance between power and atmosphere, a signature of the band."
