There’s no denying the Grizzly Bear influence (or more specifically the Daniel Rosen comparison) on We Are Trees’ debut EP Boyfriend. That’s no bad thing as Virginia Beach bedroom popster James Nee’s debut EP suggests he already has a superior grasp on that folk-dream pop sound. It’s all galloping acoustic-led instrumentation and it’s just perfect for the turn in the weather.
You can get your hands on the EP digitally now or on 12″ from Collective Crowd in November.
