Treetop Flyers are set to play a headline set at Borderline on May 23rd and Stereoboard are giving you the chance to win a pair of tickets for the show along with a signed copy of new single 'Thing Will Change' on 10” vinyl. See below for details on how to enter the competition.
'Things Will Change' which is out on Communion Records - the London based folk label co-founded by Ben Lovett from Mumford & Sons, ex-Cherbourg bassist Kev Jones, & producer Ian Grimble.
Since winning the Glastonbury Festival Emerging Talent Competition in April this year, the band have been gaining a steadily growing audience and performed a session live on 6Music last week when Lauren Laverne broadcasted her show from Worthy Farm (you can listen again HERE if you missed it.
In addition to this, they have also filmed a gorgeous acoustic video performance of the title track from their forthcoming single.
Treetop Flyers beautifully tangled roots soak up a timeless musical current – one that follows a musical lineage from The Band, Neil Young and Crosby, Stills & Nash, through to contemporaries Fleet Foxes, My Morning Jacket and Josh T Pearson.
Their sepia toned soul’n’roll has been gathering a pace since 2008. The self released 'To Bury The Past' EP picked up early plaudits from The Guardian and NME.com and gigs at West London strongholds Bush Hall, Notting Hill Arts Centre and the Blue Flowers club night placed TTF firmly on the radar of London live audiences.
Released on 10” vinyl, the Communion single features 'Things Will Change' - “a love song, about wanting things to change for the better”; 'Long Cold Winter', a reflection of the typical seasonal British malaise backed with two acoustic recordings 'Rose Is In The Yard' and 'Disappearing Kind' lamenting the passing of “good people and places.”
