Band

Combining the hypnotic soundscapes of dream pop with lush melodies, Delay Trees have proven to be one of the most interesting new bands to come out of the Nordic Indie-scene.

Delay Trees hail from the towns of Helsinki and Hämeenlinna, southern Finland.

In his early twenties, Rami started to write songs about the growing pressures of adulthood, unemployment, ending friendships and the long Finnish winters. After sharing a mutual musical history with Sami and Lauri it felt natural to start playing the new songs together. For a while they searched for a drummer who would fit in with their new material. After a few try-outs, Onni, the brother of a mutual friend, stood out and fitted in perfectly. At the start of 2007 the boys started rehearsing continuously under the name Delay Trees and played their first gigs at the end of the year. In 2008 they started to record a full-length album in Hämeenlinna which would later be cut down to 'Soft Construction EP'.

With their first release 'Soft Construction EP' (March 2009), the band gained admiring reviews and features on multiple music-blogs around the world. In November 2009 Delay Trees signed a record deal with the legendary Finnish independent record company Johanna Kustannus in a shady corner table of Club Liberté. Their self-titled debut album was released on September 29, 2010 in Finland by Johanna Kustannus and on January 21, 2011 in Germany, Switzerland, Austria and the Netherlands by Cargo Records. On May 10, 2011 the album saw its US release via Friendly Fire Recordings.

At the moment Delay Trees are busy touring and promoting the album and writing new material for future releases.
