Treeline

Higher than 66% of albums we've rated

The EP showcases strong songwriting and emotive vocals, though its impact is primarily within Australia.

What we noticed

• — The first track opens with layered vocal harmonies that build gradually, creating a rich atmospheric soundscape.
• — Each song features a prominent use of dynamic shifts, often starting softly and swelling into more powerful crescendos.
• — The EP concludes with a demo version of the title track, which strips back the production to highlight the raw vocal performance.
