Brooklyn-based husband-and-wife duo Silver Liz return with “Through the Trees,” the latest glimpse into their forthcoming album III, set to arrive January 30th via Extremely Pure. Known for their cinematic and emotionally layered soundscapes, Carrie and Matthew once again blur the boundaries between bedroom intimacy and widescreen grandeur.

“Through the Trees” began humbly — as an iPhone demo, recorded by Carrie on an unplugged electric guitar. That ghostly, percussive strumming became the song’s heartbeat, preserved in the final studio version for its raw, unfiltered charm. Around it, the pair build a lush sonic world: hazy synths swell and dissolve, drums echo through reverb-drenched space, and the production stretches outward like a dream slowly coming into focus.

The result is a song that feels both close and infinite — as if whispered through the static of a distant transmission. Silver Liz craft each section with filmic precision; shifts in tone and texture feel like scene changes in a romantic drama about lovers separated by time and distance. By the end, the song dissolves into a sea of modern orchestral strings, reminiscent of Jonny Greenwood’s haunting film scores — a perfect, aching fade-out that lingers long after the final note.

“Through the Trees” is Silver Liz at their most evocative: tender, expansive, and emotionally unguarded. It’s a quiet revelation that promises III will be the duo’s most immersive work yet.
