Delving in ‘Through The Trees’ is quite a relatable experience: John White’s storytelling is rather introspective and based on personal experiences, resulting in a wider exploration of human emotions and topical behaviours. That’s meaningful and relevant lyricism, something that we are confident will connect with a wider audience out there. A ten-track album, the record represents White’s debut effort, an opera magna that highly showcases everything the project stands for. Mellow and nuanced indie-rock, with a strong pop and eclectic component.
If the references echo guitar-based bands and troubadours, it’s clear that ‘Through The Trees’ also rejoices in modern goo, pairing wholesome honesty and instrumental authenticity with contemporary production techniques, making for an album that sounds incredibly modern while learning from the best musical tradition.
Pairing ballad-like, fragile pieces with more uplifting and punchy offerings, John White manifests his breaking force, reiterating that he’s here to stay and that the industry will have to take notice of it soon. We have already – it’s worth it.
