2012 07:09:14 +0000 Branches 2576333 Best friends turned band-mates, the lady and gentlemen of Branches are an independent, self-writing and self-producing collective. Birthed in a living room in the suburbs of Los Angeles in 2010, Tyler, Natalie, Jacob, Mitch, Tyler, and Mike spent their first year together making friends, playing shows, and writing and recording the songs for their EPs ("O, Light!", "Cabin", "Merry Christmas") and their full-length ("Thou Art The Dream", released 2/12). In their debut EP, 'O, Light!', and their sophomore release, 'Cabin', Branches have thus far offered an eight-song sample of their sound. Through both singalong celebration and solitary longing, the sounds of 'O, Light!' and 'Cabin' provide the full spectrum of what this band is capable of: Indie-folk-rock-family-fun in a style that has been compared to the likes of Arcade Fire, Mumford and Sons, and Freelance Whales. Pouring as much creativity and imagination into every live experience as they have into their studio recordings, they have been honored to sing in such notable southern California venues like the Hotel Cafe (Hollywood) & the Glass House (Pomona), where the band first opened for Tyrone Wells. In April 2011, the band celebrated their first TV spot when their song "Maps of Wars" (O, Light!) was featured on an episode of One Tree Hill. Tune in to OTH during the Spring 2012 season to hear their second TV placement with "Sleeper" (Cabin). After nearly a year of dreaming, writing, recording, eating, and praying, Branches are thrilled and proud to release their first full-length album, "Thou Art The Dream". This collection of thirteen songs explore the ideas of doubt, faith, loneliness, love, and above all, hope for life as it was meant to be. About these songs and others, Tyler says, "We write songs that we believe and make music we'd want to listen to. It's just much more fun that way." In addition to a fuller track listing, this album also features a wider array of instrumentation, adding ukulele, trombone, trumpet, violin, toy organ, and other fun noises to their existing instrumental buffet. In the wake of its release, Branches are gearing up for another fun year of traveling, singing, and making friends. When they're not writing, recording, or playing out up and down the west coast, the band spends their time laughing at each other, frequenting local Mexican cuisine, and loving their lives. Join them for a night of singing and see for yourself what their music is all about.

February 3, 2012 Well friends, it's time we made it official. Deep breath....here it is: On February 10th, we, the lady and gentlemen of Branches, are releasing our first full-length album, Thou Art The Dream!!! After months and months of dreaming, writing, laughing, recording, and traveling, we couldn't be happier about the thirteen songs we're getting ready to release to you. Experimenting with broader sounds, instrumentation, and imagination, this album is something we're incredibly proud of, and its debut couldn't come soon enough! With that, we are releasing our single, "Helicopter" for free on NoiseTrade now!! <img src="http://payload13.cargocollective.com/1/5/180587/2576968/HelicopterNT_R_HI.jpg" border="0" width="395" height="356" width_o="395" height_o="356" src_o="http://payload13.cargocollective.com/1/5/180587/2576968/HelicopterNT_R_HI_o.jpg" align="left" /> So here's how this works...we give you "Helicopter" for free, and then you help us out by telling all your friends and family about it so that millions of people hear and fall in love with our music. Pretty genius, right? Hopefully once you've heard "Helicopter", you'll be as excited as we are for the rest of our album, and want to come join us for a night of singing the next time we come through your town. That said, we'd be honored if you would watch this little promo, download "Helicopter", help us spread the word, and then join us in our excitement for this new album... Thanks again! Love, Branches -------------------------------------------------------------------- January 11, 2012 Well, it's been an amazing couple of months. We have made some new friends, written some new songs, and have been granted some amazing opportunities. The first exciting piece of news (redundant as it may be) is that we have a new website!! Welcome to it! This site was designed by our insanely talented friend Greg Christian over at Sticks Stones in San Francisco, and we couldn't be happier about it. This will be our main hub from now on as we update you with news, photos, merch, and more good stuff in the future. Secondly, as you may have seen on our welcome page, we are releasing our first full-length album NEXT MONTH. Jeez. Too cool. This album has been nearly a year in the making, and features what we believe to be the most exciting and honest songs we've ever written. We can't wait to share them with you. Stay tuned in the coming weeks for a more in-depth preview... Thirdly, and more immediately, we are so excited to say that our song, "Sleeper"* will be featured on the season premier of One Tree Hill tonight, Wednesday 1/11 at 8/7c on the CW! This is our second time being featured on OTH and we're stoked for round two. Tune in with us and see what antics those crazy teenagers are up to this time around... *To hear "Sleeper" in its entirety, go here. OK. Phew. I think that's everything. Thanks for reading, for listening, and for hanging out. You're the best. Thanks, and stay tuned! Love, Branches
