Music like Lost in the Trees

Lost in the Trees was an American orchestral folk pop band from Chapel Hill, North Carolina. The line up consisted of Ari Picker (writer/vocals), Emma Nadeau (french horn/vocals), Drew Anagnost (cello), Jenavieve Varga (violin), and Mark Daumen (tuba). Lead singer Ari Picker cites diverse influence such as Beethoven, Radiohead, Vivaldi, Neutral Milk Hotel, Saint-Saëns, and OutKast, among others.

Lost in the Trees formed in 2007 when lead singer/guitarist Ari Picker, a native of Chapel Hill, assembled a group of musicians to record the EP Time Taunts Me on Trekky Records. Picker had previously been a member of The B-Sides. After studying at Berklee College of Music, he decided to attempt a more orchestral effort. Following the release of Time Taunts Me, Picker moved back to North Carolina and assembled a band drawn from the University of North Carolina's orchestral program and the pool of players connected with Trekky Records.
