The Halo Trees “Dark Clouds Over London” (Official Video)
The renowned US indie label COP International (Stabbing Westward, The Cassandra Complex, Beasto Blanco etc.) recently signed the Berlin band The Halo Trees. The group around singer/guitarist Sascha Blach describes their music as Deep Dark Indie Rock, which includes elements of Post-Punk, Indie Rock and Post-Rock.
The dark Rock sound is characterized by complex arrangements in which the violin also has a fixed place, as well as the frontman’s deep melancholic vocals. In the past, The Halo Trees have been repeatedly compared to bands like The National, Lambchop and Mark Lanegan. After the outfit recently released a few singles on their own such as “Mr. Abundance” or “The Beginning Of Something Beautiful”, the next record “Where The Deep Ends” will be released in spring 2024 worldwide via COP International. The band promises an introspective headphone album with a warm, organic sound that contains lots of little details. The record release will be preceded by the first single and music video still this year.
Christian Petke, label boss of COP International, says about the signing: “I am genuinely thrilled to join forces with The Halo Trees. Their music exudes an introverted, deep, and intensely quiet post-punk vibe that resonated with me on a profound level. Sascha Blach, a truly prolific songwriter, has crafted something extraordinary, and I’m eagerly anticipating the moment we can unveil their incredible new music to the world.”
Sascha Blach from The Halo Trees is pleased: “I know COP International still from the first incarnation of the label and have therefore been following Christian’s work from afar for a long time. I think it’s great that he has revitalized the label and is now expanding musically. In our conversations he proved to be a great idealist and a very likeable person. I see it as a good sign that our first Zoom call lasted over 2.5 hours. So I’m looking forward to what I hope will be a long-term collaboration and I hope we as a band can take the next step.”
In the heart of Eastern North Carolina, where the neon lights glimmer like promises and the echoes of the 80s still resonate, a twisted harmony of nostalgia and darkness was brewing.
Jason, is a man with a penchant for the night. Ttransplanted to the city in 1986, andfinding solace in the ethereal tunes of Duran Duran and the haunting beats of Oingo Boingo wove his fascination with the night, where mysteries unfolded in the shadows. The radio waves whispered secrets of the city, leading him down a path where the line between light and dark blurred. His punk roots intertwined with the pulse of electronic music, forming a new rhythm in his soul. It was the night that beckoned him, the night that rivaled the day for his attention.
Chris is the voice behind Night Rivals, han insatiable desire for creation, and found his calling in the wild rush of a live show. A single song written while in high school revealed the exhilaration of the stage, and he embraced the power it held over his emotions. Drums and dreams became his constant companions, and the urge to make music grew stronger. When their paths converged, a new sound emerged. Their influences, wildly different yet curiously compatible, gave birth to a unique blend of synth, goth, pop, and disco. Night Rivals was born. Unafraid to explore the unknown, they became a rhythmic enigma in the city’s underground music scene. The name Night Rivals emerged from a labyrinth of ideas. The night held the power to rival the day, to stir the passions of those who longed for something more than the ordinary. The duo’s quest to bring the night to life resonated with the audience, and the name captured the essence of their music. But the road to recognition is never easy. They found themselves in a race against time, battling against other bands with the same dreams. The night was their ally, but also their rival, challenging them to stand out in a world cloaked in shadows.
In the dimly lit studio, the creative process unfolded. Jason, untrained but driven, crafted melodies from emotions. Minor scales became his voice, an outlet for his inner darkness. Chris, the restless musician, let the lyrics write themselves as he surrendered to the music’s whims. Their songwriting was not just an artistic endeavor; it was a conduit for their souls. The melodies were catharsis, a release of their deepest desires and fears. Each composition revealed a piece of their essence, haunting and mesmerizing in equal measure. Collaboration was both a gift and a curse. The studio witnessed moments of brilliance when their differences ignited sparks of creativity. But it also bore witness to clashes, where egos clashed like titans. In their pursuit of perfection, they learned that sometimes, it was the absence of a rigid plan that allowed the music to flow. Time constraints and progress markers only stifled their creative spirits. The night gave them the freedom to create without boundaries, where music became a form of therapy.
Music had the power to change the world. It held the ability to unite people, to convey messages that words alone couldn’t. The echoes of charity concerts from their youth still resonated in their memories, reminding them of the collective strength of music. As Night Rivals, they hoped to continue the tradition, to create music that touched hearts and minds. The journey was long and arduous, but they believed that the pioneers of change were out there, finding their voices through the music. Their music embodied the essence of the night, where emotions ran deep, and desires danced in the shadows. As they played their haunting melodies, their audience was transported to a realm where the night was both a friend and a foe. In the city of Chicago, where the neon lights whispered secrets and the night held its breath, Night Rivals left an indelible mark.
The story of Night Rivals was an unfinished symphony, a journey filled with haunting echoes of the night. Their melodies continued to echo through the alleys of the city, drawing in those who longed for the enigmatic embrace of the night. In the end, their music would remain a testament to the power of the night, a tribute to the shadows that hid the mysteries of life. Night Rivals, forever in pursuit of the elusive night, left their mark on the city’s music scene, echoing through time and memory. And so, the night continued to rival the day, as the music of Night Rivals played on, a haunting melody that transcended the boundaries of time and space.

Timo Rotten, the band’s vocalist, comments on the endeavor: “Toxicity was one of my favorite albums when it came out, but I hadn’t heard it in a while.

Did I get it right? I think you have to decide for yourselves.”
