Glasslands, Brooklyn NY
6/27
They arrived at Glasslands warehouse/artspace touring behind their beautiful debut 'The Mountain Moves'. From first listen, you will become obsessed with 'Things Will Change', which could easily be mistaken for a song from America. They stretch out a bit as 'Houses are Burning' and 'Picture Show' sound like a country fried 'Don't Fear the Reaper', while 'Waiting on You', 'Roses in the Yard' and 'Making Time' blend mellow country soul. 'Postcards' adds a little doo-wap and album closer 'Is it all Worth it' draws some inspiration from Mumford and Sons. Of all their songs, 'Haunted House' was the one that stood out most during their hour long set tonight. Clocking in at 6:52 on cd, they stretched it out to well over 8 minutes live driving us to peaks and valleys before closing it out in a long frenzied finish. The Treetop Flyers are blessed with an enormous amount of talent. Their music may seem oddly familiar yet it is new and fresh. 'The Mountain Moves' is a classic FULL album that should be the soundtrack for your next road trip. It sounds equally as cool sitting on your porch on a beautiful sunny day as it does watching a storm roll in. They've got talent to spare. Considering the fact that the next concert they would be playing after tonight would be Glastonbury, I'm sure this is just the beginning of great things to come for the Treetop Flyers.
