Editorial Reviews

Following his departure from esteemed avant-rock collective Tarentel, William Trevor Montgomery donned the Lazarus moniker and began releasing intimate bedroom recordings. His first album, last year’s 'Songs For An Unborn Sun,' was a slow-burning affair with the uncanny ability to make you feel simultaneously better and worse about your life. With 'Like Trees We Grow Up To Be Satellites (The Backwards America),' Lazarus follows it with a much-anticipated breath of fresh air. Produced by Scott Solter (Tarentel, Court & Spark), 'Like Trees...' is an epic folk-rock masterwork. Influences as disparate as Elvis Costello, Pink Floyd, Nirvana and Bright Eyes take on a whole new light in this grand, orchestral production, relentless in its beauty and power. Like fellow SF freak folks Devendra Banhart and Joanna Newsom, Lazarus clears a path between your head and your heart that you can feel widening with each listen.

This review is from: Like Trees We Grow Up to Be Satellites (Audio CD)

Lazarus is dark, but full of imagery and mood you can't help but be drawn in. All the songs are great, and even some of the demos rival the studio versions, but i like both. Just shows what a strong songwriter Trevor really is. The first record took a while to get its hooks in me, but once hooked there's no going back!
