Stream new Lost in the Trees album at NPR First Listen

The wait is over! Today NPR’s First Listen premiered the highly anticipated new Lost in the Trees album A Church That Fits Our Needs. The album will be in stores March 20th via Anti- and Trekky Records.

A Church That Fits Our Needs is an ambitious work inspired by loss and transformation. In the summer of 2009, Ari Picker lost his mother when she took her own life. Picker has reconstructed the event into an evocative and moving musical celebration. Far from being a somber affair, the classically trained composer has utilized rhythm as its own emotional language, creating aggressive and engaging pieces filled with darkness and redemption. To stream this exhilarating new record in its entirety visit NPR First Listen now.

Lost in the Trees kicked off their international touring with a performance at the Jeff Mangum curated All Tomorrow’s Parties Festival on March 11th, followed by a run of appearances at South By Southwest this week in Austin, and then a full North American tour with Fleet Foxes members Christian Wargo’s and Casey Wescott’s new project Poor Moon in tow.
