​Wailing Trees
is born after the encounter
in Vienne (France) of 7 artists
from various musical backgrounds. Far
away from the usual reggae clichés, they
demonstrate that their differences can be a
strength !
After winning the last « Rototom European
Reggae Contest » and the « Inouïs du
Printemps de Bourges 2015 » preselection,
Wailing Trees keeps growing bigger since the
release of his first EP « Selon Ma Nature » in
2012 followed by his first album «The World
Go Round» in 2015.
Touring quickly becomes the day-to-day life for
those young musicians who travel across France
to meet a more and more enthusiastic public.
They started touring abroad in 2014, hitting the
stages of the most famous european reggae
festivals such as the Rototom Sunsplash (Es),
the Summerjam (De), the Reggae SunSka
(Fr) and the Uprising Fest (Sk) just to name a
few. They even played at the Sziget Festival
(Hu) in 2015 !
After these touring years and numerous encounters on the road, new tones get to
enrich their original sound. The will of composing a more actual and purified sound
starts to emerge : for this second opus, the band was looking for a more produced
sound.
By choosing Umberto Echo (Dub Inc, Sarah Lugo, Oneness Records, …) as
sound engineer it becomes obvious that thanks to his “dubalist” experience, his
modern reggae mixing ability using a large range of effects, he enables Wailing
Trees to reach the sound they
were searching for !
Whether using Shakespeare
language on a reggae roots, soul,
ska, dub and even on a r&b track
or using french on a world music
melody, the topics of this second
album are the fruits of the emotions
that the band experienced after
the events that occurred during its
writing.
This second album, « Change We
Need », which will be released on
the 12th of may 2017, is named
after the change of artistic approach
of the band in itself but also after
the change that Wailing Trees
wishes to see in the world.
The first album « The World
Go Round », that dealt about
abstractive values such as
Happiness and Freedom, can be
seen as a painting where « Change
We Need » is more to handle as a
photography of the last years
taken by the music, questioning
the changes we need in our
world.
