“Sea Of Glass” is the latest single from instrumental post-rock collective IF THESE TREES COULD TALK. At once dreamy and powerful, the band’s newest hymn comes by way of the band’s forthcoming full-length, The Hidden Hand, set for release on July 10th through Metal Blade Records.
Comments drummer Zack Kelly, “‘Sea Of Glass’ offers a smooth optimistic post-rock landscape guided by uplifting clean guitars and heavy chorus hooks which pay off with a haunting and explosive resolution.”

The Akron, Ohio-based outfit has been praised by Metal Hammer for their, “uplifting post-rock that layers cascading guitars over tight drums with a deep emotional resonance,” while the lineup’s Metal Blade debut (and third LP overall), 2016’s The Bones Of A Dying World, was called “a fluid-flowing masterpiece that builds upon complex, progressive dreamscapes.”
This year’s The Hidden Hand boasts nine stellar and plainly provocative songs. IF THESE TREES COULD TALK focuses on capturing sonic power, utilizing the three guitars to cover different areas of the spectrum.
“Most parts usually start with a loop pedal and delay, from there a natural bass line will reveal itself and we can build from there after lots of trial and error,” explains Zack, who co-founded the band with drummer-brother Cody Kelly in 2005. “Drums patterns can also help play against the loop and create a movement or flow to help build the counts and changes. The IF THESE TREES COULD TALK experience feels like a slow, wordless conversation between the inner and outer world best consumed like the score to a cinematic picture or a space for meditation, healing, and clarity.”
