Wiretree
Sun-drenched melodies and gentle jangle that feel like a Polaroid of a perfect afternoon. Intimate, melodic indie pop for quiet commutes and slow Sundays.

Wiretree sounds like the exact moment the sun dips below the horizon, casting everything in a warm, slightly hazy glow. Built on a foundation of clean, jangly guitars and the soft, intimate vocals of Kevin Peroni, the music carries a distinct sense of polite melancholy. It is melodic and accessible, yet it possesses a handcrafted quality that suggests it was recorded in a room filled with vintage gear and stacks of well-loved books.
What sets them apart is their restraint. While many indie pop acts lean into sugary sweetness or aggressive lo-fi fuzz, Wiretree occupies a middle ground of high-fidelity intimacy. They use space effectively, allowing acoustic strums and melodic bass lines to breathe. There is a subtle British influence in their melodic sensibility, echoing the sophisticated pop of the 80s but filtered through a modern Austin, Texas lens.
Start with the album Bouldin to hear the project's foundational DIY charm. It captures the essence of Peroni's songwriting: hook-heavy, unpretentious, and deeply comforting. It is the kind of music that doesn't demand your attention but rewards it immensely once you lean in.
Wiretree is an indie pop/indie rock project hailing from Austin, Texas. Founded by Kevin Peroni, Wiretree's music is built on a foundation of intimate, homemade recordings. While primarily a solo endeavor, the project has featured collaborations with other musicians, including Joshua Kaplan and Gregory White on guitar, Rachel Peroni on bass, Daniel Blanchard on drums and Daniel Jones, also on drums. Peroni's music draws from a diverse range of influences, including British rock, indie, singer-songwriter traditions, and jazz, all filtered through a DIY aesthetic. This eclectic blend has earned Wiretree spots at notable festivals such as Loop Festival in Spain (2011) and China's Strawberry Festival (2013).
