Video: Time travel with Scattered Trees

By Frank Krolicki

Following up their last video for "Four Days Straight," Chicago pop/rockers Scattered Trees are back with a new clip for their moody, emotional track "Sympathy." This time they decided head back in time, don warrior garb and act all dramatic, resulting in some beautiful visual to match the beautiful audio. The tune comes from Scattered Trees' recent LP of the same name, which has just got a physical release via Roll Call Records/EMI. Check it out below.

Video: Scattered Trees - 'Four Days Straight'

Posted by Frank Krolicki

The Windy City's own Scattered Trees have been getting quite a bit of positive attention for their recently-released record Sympathy, and to help build on the buzz is a new video for the track "Four Days Straight." The band teamed with Consequence of Sound in February for a contest that gave four student filmmakers the chance to create the video, and Markus Kneer wound up victorious. The result does a great job capturing the vibe of the band and the song. Check it out below and catch Scattered Trees live at their Sympathy record release show on Saturday, April 30th at Schubas.

Interview: Scattered Trees

Posted by Frank


A lot has happened with Chicago band Scattered Trees since we first wrote about them more than two years ago. Faced with death and members moving out of state, the six-piece could have very easily packed it in, but after taking a break have fortunately decided to persist. Not only are they back, but they're back in full force, recently playing the CMJ Showcase in New York, promoting two new singles this fall and and preparing to release their debut LP Sympathy in the winter. From the sound of two pre-release singles, "Four Days Straight" and "A Conversation About Death on New Year's Eve," we're in for a fantastic full-length (MP3: Scattered Trees - "Four Days Straight").

It's been a while since Scattered Trees have played a home city show, but that will change this Friday, November 5 when they take the stage at Subterranean with Urbanites. To help gear up for the show and the new material, frontman Nate Eiesland took some time to answer a few of my questions. Read on to find out more about the challenges the band have had to overcome, what we can expect on Sympathy and what's in store for the future.
