#127 – Scattered Trees

Today is all about Chicago’s Scattered Trees. They’re a five piece who have been making music together for about six years, in one guise or another. I first appreciated them on account of the superb video for their song ‘Love And Leave‘. It is the kind of video that looks like it was amazing fun to make. I then got an email telling me that they’d just recorded a session for Daytrotter. I wasn’t aware of this pretty awesome website until about three days ago, but since then it’s been getting an enormous amount of attention from me. They catch bands that are touring the States and have them record four songs on a basic system, in one take.
