TREEFIGHT FOR SUNLIGHT (BalconyTV)

Live from BalconyTV Copenhagen, at SPOT! festival 2011.

Treefight for Sunlight is an apt name for the Danish four-piece. Well, the Sunlight part at least. Their sun-drenched, euphoric harmonies emit every existing positive emotion. When their eponymous debut album was released earlier this year, I assumed it would be thrown into the spotlight and serve as one of the year's most praised alternative releases. For reasons that I cannot understand, this was not the case.

When jumping into their unique sound of ecstatic summer pop, it's easy to think of The Beach Boys, The Zombies, Beach House, and MGMT, all uniting their sounds to create an accessible sense of pop-laden euphoria. They combine falsetto vocals with dreamy compositions that transport you to the happiest place in the world. They somehow create this magical effect with just their voices, a keyboard, guitar, bass and drums. At this point, I don't want you to get the wrong impression; they're not cheesy. They make glorious pop music in a way that still retains rawness and creativity.
