Lyrics from Pause

Helsinki’s dream pop group Delay Trees is a band of theatrically epic proportions. Featuring the musically expansive workings of four friends, the Nordic four-piece formally rehearsed under their current moniker in 2007 and recorded their debut Soft Construction EP within the confines of a friend’s home studio. The band released the record in early 2009, featuring their first single, “About Brothers,” released in 2008, and leading to their signing with indie record label Johanna Kustannus. Delay Trees went on to record their self-titled full-length debut, first released in Finland in 2010 and, later, the United States in 2011. Their latest release features the record-opener “Gold” and other singles like “Pattern” and “Quarantine.” The band tours Europe frequently, but recently made their North America debut at the Canadian Music Festival in March 2012.
