Like Trees We Grow Up To Be Satellites - The Backwards America Book | Thought-Provoking Literary Fiction About American Society | Perfect for Book Clubs & Contemporary Literature Lovers

Product Description

Product Description Following his departure from esteemed avant-rock collective Tarentel, William Trevor Montgomery donned the Lazarus moniker and began releasing intimate bedroom recordings. His first album, last year’s 'Songs For An Unborn Sun,' was a slow-burning affair with the uncanny ability to make you feel simultaneously better and worse about your life. With 'Like Trees We Grow Up To Be Satellites (The Backwards America),' Lazarus follows it with a much-anticipated breath of fresh air. Produced by Scott Solter (Tarentel, Court & Spark), 'Like Trees...' is an epic folk-rock masterwork. Influences as disparate as Elvis Costello, Pink Floyd, Nirvana and Bright Eyes take on a whole new light in this grand, orchestral production, relentless in its beauty and power. Like fellow SF freak folks Devendra Banhart and Joanna Newsom, Lazarus clears a path between your head and your heart that you can feel widening with each listen. Review "The nakedness of his level of self-flagellation has a certain appeal, and Montgomery has certainly mastered the atmospherics of desolation." -- The Wire
