Kelly elaborates, “It’s almost the same way an orchestra would be set up with the bass guitar covering cello, the rhythm guitars holding down the woodwind section and the lead guitarist covering the strings section. No matter who comes up with a riff or where it starts, the end product must always have these three components present especially when transitioning from clean to heavy tones.” Longtime fans and newcomers alike will thrill to the album’s stunning first single, “Blurry Creatures.” Kelly notes, “The track embodies the raw nature of the IF THESE TREES COULD TALK sound by incorporating unrelenting riffs with epic highs and lows, ambient syncopated delays and a battle chant that stimulates the senses.” "The Hidden Hand" Track Listing: 1.
