Portland-based band The Dead Trees have had a very good few years, all things considered, since forming in Boston in 2007: Strokes guitarist Albert Hammond, Jr. heard their debut EP, Fort Music, and whisked the band away to support him for two US tours. Since then, they’ve released their debut full-length, King of Rosa (2008), and toured with MGMT, The Whigs, and others. Today marks the release of their sophomore album, WHATWAVE. [Source]
