We recently had the amazing opportunity to check out the new single, “Painting Of A Tree” , from Boston , based “farm “ emo band, Tiberius. You can listen to “Painting Of A Tree” on Spotify Here and on Apple Music Here

There is a real cinematic feel on “Painting Of A Tree” from Tiberius.

Tiberius was originally a solo outing for Rutland, VT-based songwriter Brendan Wright(they/them), with the project growing to a four-piece band upon Wright’s relocation to Boston. This expanded lineup produces a catchy and cacophonous sound that blends Indie Punk, Alt Country and Psychedelia with confessional, conversational lyrics, which they describe as “Farm Emo.”

Following the more frantic Emo Rock sounds of the “Sag“ and “Felt“ singles, and the rustic Poppy warmth of “Moab,”this new single is an aching, slow-burning sprawl, which takes a left turn into darker territory. Downtempo instrumental breaks clash with pounding percussion and raw distortion, as Wright exorcises demons through introspective lyrics like “I hope they love you / Like I do / At least the way I wanted to / Not the way I did.” 

Speaking on “Painting of a Tree,” Wright shares:

“There’s this older man I work with – a kooky gentleman who’s kind of off his rocker – but at the same time can incite this erudite understanding of the human condition. When I asked him if he had any advice for someone really mulling over some heartache, he chuckled. He said, ‘an artist cannot paint a tree, unless they examine all aspects of it.’ I wrote, Painting of a Tree, as an homage to this idea that this kind of hurt was a truly human experience. A kind of pain I wouldn’t wish on anyone, but something that I feel thankful to have experienced. The kind of pain that makes us who we are.” – Brendan Wright (they/them)
