Tom Dyer’s Top 10 Albums of 2015 – #6 Trees and Timber

6. Trees and Timber – Hello, My Name is Love
T&T is your basic somewhat modern Tacoma band. You know, Sonics leads to Girl Trouble leads to Trees and Timber. That sort of thing. They are primarily a guitar trio but there is actually a fair amount of keyboards tossed in on the disc. They have very catchy pop tunes that they rock up in a most satisfying way. When I saw them down at Slim’s Last Chance in Georgetown I was initially impressed by their raw groovin’ 1-2-3-4. The disc is comparatively poppier than live, but not to the point of being wimp rock (for you-know-whats). This band is super cool. I say buy this disc (on vinyl for the super-hip and CD for the lazy like me) and go see ‘em. You can do both and enjoy the full benefit of each! Damn.
