Treebeard Sign to Bird’s Robe Records; Nostalgia to Be Reissued
So much the better if it gives the album another look. Melbourne’s Treebeard issued their debut full-length, Nostalgia (review here), during the covid-lockdown days of 2021, and having now signed to Bird’s Robe Records, will offer it again with the label’s backing. The record was comprised of tracks re-recorded and in part rearranged from their first two EPs, so as that makes some of its material upwards of half a decade old, it’s not a surprise to hear them discussing moving forward with new material as well. They call it “very much on the way,” but leave further specifics to guesses at this point.
Fair enough. They list some of the artists who release/have released through Bird’s Robe — We Lost the Sea, Sleepmakeswaves, etc. — and being in a heavy post-rock vein, they’re a solid fit among on a roster that’s obviously curated with care and a precise idea of what it’s looking for. If you didn’t catch Nostalgia, it’s of course streaming below. If you did catch it, well, maybe catch it again, I don’t know. Or maybe just drop the band a comment and say congrats. They seem pretty stoked on it, and reasonably so.
Their announcement follows:
Treebeard joins Bird’s Robe
We are thrilled to announce that Treebeard is now joining Sydney-based record label and promoter Bird’s Robe!
We are so excited and humbled to be on a roster featuring many of Australia’s finest post / prog artists, including many of our peers as well as some of our biggest influences such as We Lost The Sea, Sleepmakeswaves, Solkyri, Mushroom Giant and many more!
We have always considered Bird’s Robe and Mike Solo to be at the forefront of our scene and are so thankful for his endorsement of our band. We appreciate his support of our music both old and new which, yes, is very much on the way.
With our debut album ‘Nostalgia’ having come out during lockdown, it was always felt that its potential was never fully realised post release. Mike after hearing the album agreed, and therefore we are also happy to announce we are rereleasing ‘Nostalgia’, with more details to come soon.
Many thanks to Bird’s Robe for welcoming us, and to all our supporters for getting us to this point!
We’re only just getting started…
