Treeline

Higher than 49% of albums we've rated

The album showcases strong songwriting within a cohesive sound, though it remains niche in its appeal.

What we noticed

• — The album features a consistent use of layered guitar textures, with intricate riffs that often intertwine throughout the tracks.
• — Several songs incorporate shifts in tempo and dynamics, creating a sense of movement that contrasts between more energetic sections and subdued moments.
• — The vocal delivery is often buried in the mix, blending with the instrumentation rather than standing out, which contributes to the overall hazy atmosphere.

Little footprint beyond its audience. Reported but not counted — how far a record travelled describes its reception rather than the record, and a newer release has had less time to travel than an older one.
