In 2024, the acclaimed instrumental post-rock band If These Trees Could Talk released the single “Trail of Whispering Giants”, their first new music in eight years. Fans clamoured for more. The wait is now over with the release of The Hidden Hand, a full album comprising nine stellar and thought-provoking songs. As drummer and band co-founder Zack Kelly explains, 'The If These Trees Could Talk experience feels like a slow, wordless conversation between the inner and outer worlds. It is best consumed as the soundtrack to a cinematic film or as a space for meditation, healing and clarity.”

 

If These Trees Could Talk focus on capturing sonic power, utilising three guitars to cover different areas of the spectrum. Zack explains: 'It's almost the same way an orchestra would be set up, with the bass guitar covering the cellos, the rhythm guitars holding down the woodwind section, and the lead guitarist covering the strings section. No matter who comes up with a riff or where it starts, these three components must always be present, especially when transitioning from clean to heavy tones.”
