VIDEO // Taken By Trees Shares New “Only You” Video & Remix

Posted: April 25th, 2013 by katie

Taken By Trees is back with a new video for “Only You.” Directed by Armen Harootun, the video sets out to explore the themes of love and sensual joy. Watch above. You can download the song now at iTunes and Amazon.

“To me the idea of the video came from the resistance of another idea. I became tired of watching videos of the same thing: a man chasing a woman, or visa versa. It seemed appropriate to consider love as something that doesn’t have to be between a man and a woman. The video is a showcase, not a demonstration of that idea.” – Armen Harootun

In addition to video, we have a new “Only You” remix to share. Created by LA producer Belief (EI-P, Murs, Kate Boy), the track slowly builds over the tropical beat to a synthy dance jam. Stream below.

LSTN: Taken By Trees Premiere New Track on NPR

Posted: July 10th, 2012 by katie

Taken By Trees release a brand new track, “Dreams,” from the forthcoming album Other Worlds. The song is available for streaming and download exclusively at NPR’s All Songs Considered, where it premiered earlier this afternoon. You can pre-order the 12″ single for “Dreams,” which features album, extended instrumental and dub versions of the track, starting today at SC Distribution. Other Worlds isn’t out until October 2, but you can watch the album trailer HERE.

Listen and download “Dreams.”

“I hardly remember my dreams these days. Sometimes, if I am lucky and I wake up very late, I find a thin film of another time or another life. I try desperately to capture this residue of a dream before it quickly fades. But the kind of dream I am referring to in this song is more like a sense of longing, a vision of a place where things are quiet, like floating in the ocean off of Hawaii.” -Victoria Bergsman of Taken By Trees
