SCATTEREDTREES to give away new EP at Beat Kitchen

Local five-piece Scatteredtrees is playing Beat Kitchen this Thursday with Welsh band People in Planes, and will offer a new live EP for free at the show. The band's sadly beautiful songs, propelled by the expressive vocals and songwriting of Nate Eiesland, sound something like a mix of Wilco and Aimee Man at their most low-key.

Scatteredtrees gained recognition last year when their track "Sparrow" was included on the Starbucks compilation "Off the Clock, Vol. 1," which sold more than 30,000 copies. The band signed to 4AM records the same year and released an EP titled "Heart of Glass," but have since gone indie.

Check out "Sparrow" and three tracks from the new EP - "You Said That You'd Wait," "I Will Say This Twice" and "Reason to Stay" – on the Scatteredtrees MySpace page.
