My Land

Ann Arbor's Trees drops this wicked ep, six slices of lush, each on their own planet but part of the same galaxy, where techno, hip-hop and house rub up against jazz, Kraut-rock and African percussion.
There's a saying in Ann Arbor that goes “I spent half my life waiting for Charles”. Charles Trees, because that's who people are referring to when uttering those words, is the local music scene's best kept secret. In a city literally brimming with talent (MC5, Iggy, George Clinton, Mitch Ryder, Recloose, Mayer Hawthorne, Shigeto, Dabrye, anyone?), Charles is one of the absolute heroes, a gem among gems, yet relatively few people outside the city limits have heard of him. Why? Well, probably because our man doesn't really care too much about fame, hipster blogs, online social networking or other forms of shameless self promotion. He just makes his music, and remixes, and spins his tunes around town, and sometimes even releases some of them, like his EPs on Moodgadget, Ghostly International, or Paris imprint Musique Large. Which is how we heard about Charles. He made us a brilliant remix for Pajaro Sunrise' “Old Goodbyes”, and after that we had the pleasure of meeting him in person. A deal was struck for an EP. It was the summer of 2012, and we were about to find out what the “half my life waiting for Charles” was all about.
Fast forward to 2014, and lo and behold, habemus EP. And not just any EP. A HUGE EP. Six slices of lush, each on their own planet but part of the same galaxy, where techno, hip-hop and house rub up against jazz, Kraut-rock and African percussion. Sounds like a cliché, right? Uh huh, yeah.
The title track starts out like a Sun Ra jam, with the brilliant Dan Bennett on sax. After the fist bass stab, the beat kicks in and we're taken on a jubilant ride towards the acidic finish. “Exodus” continues on a hypnotic house tip while the level of funk keeps rising. The slamming beat finishes things off quite nicely. On “Get Advanced”, Detroit rapper, poet and Egyptologist Intricate Dialect spits his rhymes over hypnotic and minimal percussion and some nasty 303-stabs. Dan Bennett returns on “What's Left”, a slow burning piece of space boogie. Madrid-based DJ F does a good job of remixing”Rootwork”, adding some eeriness by changing the beat and replacing Bennett's sax with trippy keyboards. And finally, the mighty Shigeto stretches “What's Left” to almost nine minutes, with a four-minute intro leading up to a more uptempo but equally hypnotic version of the original.

LYRICS:

Does it walk on water
yes it will
just you wait
does he leave his shine on open gates
for the males
could drive his car into a, 
could he leak his light into a, 
can he sit around and call it a bane 
on a whim

all you need 
is a hole 
not a part 
of the whole
when the time
is right
you will dive
into mounds
and change

Gonna stick it in with a videotape
hell with films
yea I saw you come a mile away
tell me names
what is it that lovers call a
what is it that lovers call a bane
in your lane
round and round and round and round the same
stay in bed

all you need 
is a hole 
not a part 
of the whole
you're too tired
and lazy
to take
what is yours
stay in bed.

Trainwreck feat. The F16s

i hide my face
behind my shades
'cause i don't know how to fake concern

i like my space
going at my pace
i don’t see how my days are your concern

if you don’t like what you see
it doesn’t matter to me
if you don’t like what you see
that’s okay with me 

i can read your mind
while you’re playing kind
but i let it slide anyway

i don’t care much
for the things you judge
'cause i know that i’m loved anyway

if you don’t like what you see
it doesn’t matter to me
if you don’t like what you see
that’s okay with me

Doesn't Matter

The origin of the track, lies with Mohit developing  the intention of resolving internal conflict. Conflict based within an artistic identity dealing with finding one's true calling. His thought was that although intense practice and training can lead to accomplishments, they lead in most cases in creating a larger picture on one's life's true aspirations. In his mind, this song represents the philosophy of an accomplished artist who's not driven by his/her achievements. The artist is always looking to evolve, because the ideal exists in the distance, never to be reached. Hence the journey the artist undertakes  provides a spiritual spiritual and that of being one with god. 


"This idea came to me as I met an old friend of mine and offered her some advice as she is going through the same mixed emotions of an identity crisis as an artist. The only one person I can correlate the current scenario to is a man who has shaped contemporary and post modern music, John Coltrane. Being such an accomplished musician in his field he was never content with himself. And in the process of wanting to achieve greatness/nirvana, he set milestones and trends which could only be matched by a few. In my opinion people with conflicting mentalities (conflict between ambition and idealism) are the one's who really mould and affect culture and the people around them. Success comes to these people and they are never satisfied, sometimes depressed, but this is not a result of greed or wanting social validation, it is because they see themselves as a bigger person and always wish for more."

This Sampled Dialogue from an interview with Bob Marley
always inspired me to look at things in a different perspective.
I wanted to build a track from my perspective of the concept
of Materialism and how the realization of its negative effects
on my life allowed me to let go of it.
A Soft Wurlitzer accompanied with pads make the bed of the
track, the idea of adding vocals to this track came along very
later in the process but turned out to be the prominent features
of this track. A blend of the Carnatic vocals and Bluesy

vocals, along with signature vocal chops. The outro of the
track involves synthesis of multiple Square waves creating a
crowded atmosphere. Overall, this track is heavily influenced
by the Afrobeat and hip-hop genres along with strong ideas
from Daft Punk.
