Music like The Trees & The Wild

The Trees & The Wild (often stylized as TREES & WILD) is an Indonesian band, formed in Bekasi, West Java in 2005, and currently based in Jakarta, Indonesia. The band is known for its musical blend of ambient, post-rock and folk, underpinned with pop elements with distinctly Indonesian identity.

The Trees & The Wild emerged in 2005 as a home-recording project by Remedy Waloni. In this period, with help from university classmates, which included high school friend Andra Kurniawan, he recorded and posted a number of tracks on Myspace. With Andra Kurniawan they later developed the initial tracks written by Remedy and the first incarnation of the band was born. Local independent label Lil'Fish Records discovered The Trees & The Wild on Myspace in 2008 and recorded those demos the following year, which became an album called Rasuk. In 2010 drummer Hertri Nur Pamungkas joined the group. Soon after, bassist Eka Sapta Prasetya (Tyo) and singer Charita Utami joined the group, completing the line-up.
