Trees Hate Everything

"Even though there IS hope, sometimes we cry.
Even though there IS love, we're sometimes alone.
Now we know in part, then we shall know fully, even as we are fully known.
Only someone who knows this can at once break your heart and hold you together like Trees Hate Everything."
~ The Lacona Baptist Review
"Trees Hate Everything is beautifully careless." -Derrick Hart
"Trees Hate Everything has a realness which makes the music so appealing. The amazing lyrics are easy to identify with and that girl's voice is awesome. Its hard to dislike such musical truth.
Lots of people compare music to drugs. The feeling, the high they get. Well, yeah, I guess you could say music has that effect on some people but not Trees Hate Everything. The stuff is too good. There’s no crash. Nobody wants to come down, sober up, crash, whatever; but they expect it. I’ve never come to expect such a thing from Trees Hate Everything. Even the new things and the different approach to music that might sometimes pop up isn't disappointing. This music isn’t puddle deep. The point is, anyone can sell crack, not anyone can make music. Especially music like T.H.E., lo-fi, experimental, magnificently versatile."

"Junkies are always going on about how they are chasing the feeling that they got the first time that they used. That's how I have always felt about Mazzy Stars song 'fade into you.' That is, until i stumbled into 'I got Nothing,' a rare gem by the always interesting and completely memorable Trees Hate Everything. Her music melts you and then stabs you and you never know what's after that. You can only wait and smile."

I've seen a lot of bullshit - angel dust, switchblades, sexually perverse photography exhibits involving tennis racquets, but this, this Trees Hate Everything thing . . . its just plain fabulous! Absolutely stunning! Whimsical even. Queer, in the truest sense of the word. Trees Hate Everything are the next Sharon Heiny carrying on the low-fi tradition of Guided By Voices, Sebadoh, Eric's Trip, and Plea Of Ignorance. Songs about people; tender young teens, lonely vagabonds, carnies, Mr. America, JC Elvy, Conrad Bain, and passive aggressive panhandlers. Such sweet meat! How can the listener go wrong? Makes you feel like it’s ’93 again; drunk and burnt out on an Elliot Lake beach in the hilarity of the blazing mid-day summer sun. My kind of song writing!
