About This Album
The amoebic music collective known as Perfume Tree has a core trio in Jane Tilley of the smoky voice, guitar and beat-meister Pete Lutwyche and thoughtful sound producer Bruce Turpin. Feeler, the group's fourth release, is a witching hour wind down of dulcet soothings to a still frantic heartbeat. The lively electronica background of percolating beats makes for fascinating contrast to Tilley's delicate emote. The mix of effective, expressive vocals and subdued drum and bass is entrancing. Truly cosmic music of the inner space. As opposed to being musicians in a studio playground, Perfume Tree is versatile composers with electronic vision. They are modern day ambient experimenters who write solid songs. Perfume Tree sends a tranquil soaking over you like the nighttime waters of a body temperature tropical ocean. The adjective "ethereal" may be correctly applied to the hypnotic melodies accompanying their pulsing rhythms. The fact that I just know found out about them and missed them at both of the last two SXSW conventions is something I am having great difficulty accepting. ~ Thomas Schulte, All Music Guide
