Tree One Four is a reggae rock jam band with two albums to their name. Their most recent album, 2021’s Exhilarama, solidified the band’s official lineup. And just so you know, the song we deconstruct on this episode references personal struggles with depression. Like many artists, guitarist, singer and songwriter Brad Millabeats finds utility in songwriting when dealing with life’s hardships.
For this episode, Gabe Usery at Encapsulated Studios provided six multitrack session files of instrument and vocal groups. The band recorded this song “Hell” and another song “Amen” as two songs with a gapless transition which confused the term “intro” between Brad and I at first. Anyway, shout out to Gabe for splitting all this up for me in the first place - we figured it out.
To begin, we’ll get a quick tour of the basement studio where Tree One Four rehearses, aptly called "the Treehouse". Songs Out Loud breaks it down, instrument by instrument, lyric by lyric and beat by beat.
