My Tree is an eclectic musical collaboration that straddles the boundaries of R&B, indie rock, and jazz under a lush sonic landscape. When algorithms are decoding more music into homogeneous playlists, My Tree challenges this norm to bring music and people of disparate worlds together. Press from 2017’s full-length release After Glow described the music as “Seductive, interstellar funk” [Okayplayer] and an “experimental blend of indie rock, jazz, funk, and dream pop” [The Deli Magazine] with “the perfect mix of skill and energy to keep you hooked from start to finish” [Earmilk]. Featuring acclaimed alto-saxophonist and flutist Caroline Davis in a different role as a vocalist, and keyboardist Ben Hoffmann, this collaboration features songs that seek to uplift, while at the same time pointing to the current challenges we face in the United States. My Tree is the soundtrack for the inevitable ushering in of the new world order.Aviv Gilad is a songwriter and pianist living in Ridgewood, Queens with 10 roommates, 40,000 bees, and a small but comprehensive arrangement of kitchen appliances. When not leading the prog-soul outfit Valipala, he writes precise, lyrical songs informed by the last half-millenium or so of the short-form vocal tradition.
