Trees Speak's new album 'PostHuman' once again blends the electronic and 'motorik' instrumentation of 1970s German Krautrock (think Harmonia, Can, Cluster, Popul Vuh, Neu!), the haunting and powerful 1960s/70s soundtracks (think Italian prog-rock Goblin and John Carpenter's horror films, Morricone and John Barry's existential spy movies) alongside a New York no-wave electronic DIY aesthetic of analogue synthesizers and guitars (think Suicide, anything on Soul Jazz's New York Noise series or Eno's New York No Wave!). Drawing on the 1970s German Krautrock albums, Trees Speak create their own powerful soundscapes that manage to be both contemporary and also timeless, with a sense of sci-fi futurism. Trees Speak' brings all of these elements together on ‘PostHuman’, following on from their critically acclaimed debut album ‘Ohms’ and ‘Shadow Forms’, both released on Soul Jazz Records in less than a year. This powerful new album is a collage of retro-futuristic sci-fi music, fantastically illustrated by the artist Eric Lee, a dramatic vision of life after humanity.
