The Trees Playlist

“The Trees” moves between rural investigation, buried family histories, and the slow tightening of dread. This playlist threads those emotions—quiet dread, procedural momentum, and the recurring weight of the past—through instrumental tension and lyrical commentary on violence, memory, and complicity.
