It's hard to do what you want to do, Treefella... It's hard to do what you want to do. Are you listening? Can you hear me? There's no place that I would rather be Than sitting up here in my tree. Broken branches Building bridges I've been waiting here impatiently For you to join me up in my tree. So... Throw out your goods Come to the woods & find yourself a tree, & climb up to the top with me. Oooh weee, I'm up in a tree... Are you listening? Can you hear me? It's nothing like I thought it would be So I'm hiding up here in my tree. Chop my head off Count the rings & let me know just how old I am Cos lately I feel like an old man. You can chop me up Cut me down But I'll be back again, My roots are strong I stand alone No time for foolish friends, My wooden heart Is strong as oak No medium density, So this is where I'll be In my tree...

lyrics

Everybody's going crazy lately Peeking out through letterboxes, maybe Trying to see what is out there in the street Just Staring@Concrete Everybody's chasing fame now baby I don't want to play the game, so maybe We could find a little place, far from the street Not Staring@Concrete I'm not Staring@Concrete I'm just looking down... I want anonymity my baby We were all born to live free, so maybe We can find a little place down by the sea Just you & me Cos I'm not Staring@Concrete I'm not Staring@Concrete I'm not Staring@Concrete I'm just looking down... No I'm not Staring@Concrete I'm not Staring@Concrete I'm just looking down.

Try ending ageing It's the last enemy It's another catch for The old man & the sea & the catcher is wating As the daggers they fly So don't drop the nets yet As the crows they do cry...

Reviews:

Jumbo Records - Leeds:
"The 8 tracks on this gem of a release are a lush, beautiful, harmony laden yet experimental affair. This is just the kind of independent release we love receiving here at Jumbo. Lots of hidden depths but really memorable too. It brings to mind the Shins and a touch of toy-town psych too..."

Culture Deluxe Magazine:
"Myheadisaballoon‘s Treefella EP haunts the narco-acoustic ambient territories of the ethereal landscape. He is a purveyor of fine psych-pop and sunshine harmonies that are at once wistful and uplifting, continuing as they do, to perpetuate the liminal gene pool already pioneered by acts from The Millennium to The High Llamas, but also at times reminiscent of Buffalo Springfield’s more esoteric experiments in sixties pop. It would be wrong to single out any singular track as the EP is constructed and sequenced in a way in which it has a seductive and highly cohesive feel throughout... anybody with an ear for any of the aforementioned artists will be thrilled with the care and authenticity with which these songs are perfectly executed."

Press Release:

There’s a playful, psychedelic feel to the Treefella EP, from the echoes of pastoral folk in the instrumental track Bwlb, to the acoustic Syd Barrett tinged electronica of Laughter Track.

The title track Treefella drifts evocatively between The Beta Band and the Pacific Ocean Blue of Dennis Wilson, moving on through to the Cluster-like Save Me From My-Self-Ish Heart, returning to the almost West Coast style for the songs Staring@Concrete and the waking dream that is Bookshelf Blues.

Weeks is producing fresh, alternative Lo-Fi pop gems here. Harmonious vocals slipstream beautiful electro-acoustic instrumentation, creating a new psychedelia, which is steeped in electronica and the hazy days of summer.
