Lost in the Trees recently stopped by the famed Daytrotter Studios in Rock Island, Illinois, to record a few songs. The band performed a few tracks from the new All Alone In An Empty House album, as well as an unreleased song called "An Artist's Song". Listen to the whole session here and download "An Artist's Song" here.

We're very happy to share with you Lost in the Trees' very first music video, a haunting visual companion for "Walk Around The Lake", the lead single from the new All Alone In An Empty House album. The video was filmed in the backyard of Trekky House I, our old headquarters, by our friend Jerry at Creato Destructo. Filming day brought some unexpected weather for the band, which actually ended up being perfect for the video, adding a desperate chill to the images. Hopefully this icy video will cool your hot, Summer days. If you haven't yet, click on over to Spinner to stream the new album in its entirety, and then click on over to order the album on vinyl or CD.

Lost in the Trees played two songs for the world renowned La Blogothèque while on tour in Montreal earlier this year. Here's the video proof of two beautiful acoustic performances. The band plays "Time Taunts Me" a song from the EP of the same name, as well as "Icy River", a heartbreaking new song that will be on the next Lost in the Trees album.
We're gearing up for the release of the brand new Embarrassing Fruits LP, and we can't wait for you to hear it! Frontier Justice will be out on September 21 in our signature LP+CD+MP3 package, but before you hold the record in your hands, we wanted to give you a glimpse on the recording process for the album. Recorded over four days in late June at Duck Kee Studios in Mebane, NC, Frontier Justice was a two-speed affair. After ripping through tracking for 12 songs in one day, the Fruits spent 3 days meticulously adding vocals, extra guitars, toy pianos and sitars. "Sweetener" as guitarist Joe Norkus would say. Check out this short behind-the-scenes documentary of the Frontier Justice experience.
We are also happy to announce the album release party for this magical LP, with a bill featuring an amazing triumvirate of Triangle music: Chapel Hill's Embarrassing Fruits, Raleigh's Lonnie Walker and Durham's Midtown Dickens. The party will be on Friday, September 17 at the centrally located Duke Coffeehouse and admission will be absolutely free. This will be the first chance for you to get your hands on a copy of the album, four days before the official release date. Also, folks will be able to take advantage of the Coffeehouse's wonderful BYOB policy. How's that for Frontier Justice? Mark your calendars!
