If you’ve been keeping up with Of The Trees, then you know something big is coming. After wiping his socials and linking a new website across his profiles and stories, he returns with his first solo single in almost two years. “Dolori” is his first look into his highly anticipated forthcoming album, Moonglade Park. Fans have been waiting for this track for a couple of years now, since it was most notably played during Of The Trees’ debut Electric Forest set and during his closing performance at his own multi-day event, Camp Alderwild. Check out the track below to step into the newest place to chill, Moonglade Park.
“Dolori” sets an emotional tone for Moonglade Park, transcending listeners through a spiritual and sonic journey. Goosebumps are an inevitable byproduct of this track, as the deep yet soft percussive bass layers with hypnotic vocals, ambient textures, and introspective sound design. Each bassline sends waves of emotion as Of The Trees consistently excels at landing at the intersection of nature, sound, and story.
Set across a series of diverse natural environments, his music video reflects the landscapes that inspired the forthcoming album and underscores the organic relationship between the music and the world that shaped it. The visuals move back and forth between a dancer immersed in a lush forest surrounded by colorful flowers, atmospheric scenes in the desert, rain-soaked moments in the forest, and firelit scenes where she dances outside beside a hauntingly beautiful flame.
Rather than following a linear path, the video flows intuitively between these settings, mirroring the track itself. Throughout, the dancer reaches what can only be described as a flow state, staying deeply in tune with the bass and the natural world surrounding her. Of The Trees directed fans to “Visit moongladepark.com,” offering an invitation into the world of Moonglade Park.
This release of “Dolori” is our first dip into the waters of Moonglade Park, Of The Trees’ long-awaited full-length album, filled with genre-defying tracks that blend downtempo electronica, cinematic ambient, and experimental hip-hop. Drawing inspiration from iconic albums such as Pink Floyd’s Dark Side of the Moon and Led Zeppelin’s Houses of the Holy, this LP is meant to be experienced in full, with the intention to slow down, reflect, and reconnect, especially in times of great uncertainty when hope is most needed. Check back for full coverage of the album as it drops, and don’t forget to keep up with all things Of The Trees at the links below.
