Kevin Alexander Talks To Binnie Klein, aka In These Trees

In a recent interview with Kevin Alexander of On Repeat Records, Binnie Klein (In These Trees) explains how she felt at the beginning of her collaboration with Australian singer/songwriter Tartie. Kelin says, “Tartie’s artistry matching my lyrics with her melody thrilled me. I was operating on, as they say, a hope and prayer, and sent the demo to producer David Baron, who I knew from the Woodstock, NY area. He loved it, and we began to conceptualize an arrangement, with piano and cello. I sent Tartie several more songs, and she never disappointed. That we were working on different continents, and of very different ages and lives – all that receded as a magical alchemy took hold.” Read the full interview, which also delves into Klein’s musical background and her time as an amateur boxer, here.

The Quiver – a full collaborative album from In These Trees & Tartie – is at radio now.
