Delay Trees – Soft Construction

  • May 18, 2009

Indie pop quartet Delay Trees from Helsinki self-release Soft Construction is one of the best debut records I’ve heard this year. Soft Construction is expansive, putting a minimalist spin on dreampop, creating serenely melodic, melancholic pop uniquely their own. Standout tracks “Tarantula / Holding On” is tender and unassuming, engaging the listener on a very simple level while “About Brother” features jangling guitars, simple percussion beats and harmonized vocals. A must-listen.
