If These Trees Could Talk – to release ‘The Hidden Hand’ album + new single out now

In 2024, acclaimed instrumental post-rock band IF THESE TREES COULD TALK released a single, “Trail Of Whispering Giants,” the group‘s first new music in eight years. Fans clamored for more. The wait is over with The Hidden Hand, a full album of nine stellar, provocative songs set for release on July 10th through Metal Blade Records.

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 world best consumed like the score to a cinematic picture or a space for meditation, healing, and clarity.

“This release means a lot to me not only spiritually but emotionally,” Kelly, who co-founded the band with drummer-brother Cody Kelly in 2005, continues. “There were a lot of up-and-downs during the making of this album and the journey took longer than anticipated, but the end goal is to make music that holds an emotional imprint, and I hope we have succeeded.”
The Hidden Hand offers the same range of dark and ambient landscapes as the band‘s previous offerings but also brings a feeling of resolution. “As we all get older and our musical tastes evolve, it‘s more of a challenge to keep the sound of the band in a specific lane and not venture too far away from where we originally started.”

The Hidden Hand Track Listing:
1. Archons
2. Moon Machine
3. Sea Of Glass
4. Blurry Creatures
5. Silence Between Mountains, Pt. 1
6. Silence Between Mountains, Pt. 2
7. Metanoia
8. Flim
9. Endlessly Connected
