Trails and Ways blazes a unique trail of music for themselves with a textured blend of rhythmic beats and dreamy guitars washing over multi-lingual lyrics. The foursome have a poetic pop sound influenced by a range of interesting influences from soft bossa nova to Stereolab, yet clearly paying tribute to '80s pop and post punk. Their album Trilingual is highly refreshing altogether and crafts a sunny outlook in different tongues. Check out their lush indie sound tonight at the Glass House with Stars.
