Of the Trees creates a sonic world that feels simultaneously ancient and futuristic. It is 'organic bass' in the truest sense, where the synthetic chirps and deep 808 pulses sound like they were sampled from an alien ecosystem rather than a computer. The music breathes with a natural rhythm, often incorporating the sounds of rustling leaves, snapping twigs, and flowing water into high-fidelity electronic arrangements.
What sets Tyler Coombs apart is his surgical precision with space. Unlike the aggressive wall-of-sound typical of modern dubstep, his tracks often feel vast and airy, allowing every click, pop, and sub-frequency to resonate with purpose. There is a distinct 'Maine' quality to the work: a sense of cold, wooded isolation that is both haunting and deeply comforting.
Start with the 'Honeydust' EP for a perfect introduction to his ability to blend melody with heavy-hitting percussion. If you want something more immersive and atmospheric, dive into 'Dream Atlas' to hear how he constructs entire landscapes out of sound.
