DOWNLOAD: The Unbending Trees - Messages + Two Days

Hungary is hardly the first place cool-hunters search for the latest pop act, but some are making an exception for the chamber pop trio, The Unbending Trees. Helmed by the full-throated tenor of Kristof Hajos, whose love for Jarvis Cocker is evident in his emotional phrasing, the Trees work a Keane-like configuration vocals, drums, piano and occasionally bass. The stripped back, melancholic sound of their debut, Chemically Happy (is the New Sad), has garnered support from the UK press hordes, from the Times to the Independent, as well as the BBC, who invited The Unbending Trees to perform on Radio 1. They've also been signed to Strange Feeling Records, the label of Ben Watt (of Everything But the Girl/Buzzin' Fly fame), but don't expect to hear their floor-clearing sounds in clubs anytime soon.

Sounds like: Jarvis Cocker, Leonard Cohen, Red House Painters
