Passing Bells, Tall Trees

Music album

Nine song album of lo-fi beats. Each groove is a tribute, a celebration, a memorial for a North American tree species threatened by climate change, logging, habitat loss, and invasive insects or disease.

These remarkable beings are considered “Endangered” or “Critically Endangered” on the IUCN Red List and are decreasing in population.
