Taken By Trees

Driven by Victoria Bergsman's musical curiosity, instantly recognizable vocals, and unshakable melancholy, Taken by Trees took a winding path that led far from the indie pop of her previous group the Concretes. After releasing an album that sounded like a more fragile and orchestrated version of what she had been doing, Bergsman explored Middle Eastern-influenced sounds on 2009's East of Eden, warm tropical vibes on 2012's Other Worlds, and mainstream radio-friendly pop on 2018's Yellow to Blue. Taken by Trees' return to indie pop on the Another Year EP in 2022 showed that no matter the genre or style, Bergsman stayed impressively true to her core musical strengths.
