Lost In The Trees
　　Lost in the Trees was an American orchestral folk pop band from Chapel Hill, North Carolina. The line up consisted of Ari Picker (writer/vocals), Emma Nadeau (french horn/vocals), Drew Anagnost (cello), Jenavieve Varga (violin), and Mark Daumen (tuba). Lead singer Ari Picker cites diverse influence such as Beethoven, Radiohead, Vivaldi, Neutral Milk Hotel, Saint-Sa?ns, and OutKast, among others. 　　Lost in the Trees formed in 2007 when lead singer/guitarist Ari Picker, a native of Chapel Hill, assembled a group of musicians to record the EP Time Taunts Me on Trekky Records.Picker had previously been a member of The B-Sides. After studying at Berklee College of Music, he decided to attempt a more orchestral effort. Following the release of Time Taunts Me, Picker moved back to North Carolina and assembled a band drawn from the University of North Carolina's orchestral program and the pool of players connected with Trekky Records. 　　All Alone in an Empty House was originally released on Trekky Records in 2008.The band signed to ANTI-Records on March 1, 2010 and their new label re-released the album on August 10 that year. 　　Reviewing the record, Bob Boilen of NPR said, "Take a pinch of the brilliance found in classical music and mix it with [Picker's] own. Lost in the Trees is orchestral folk where the "orchestral" part isn't an afterthought. This is mighty potent stuff."Keelan H. from Sputnik Music said, "Right from the swelling strings of six-minute opener “Empty House”, it’s clear that Lost in the Trees don’t take their “orchestral folk” label lightly." 　　Time Taunts Me was reissued by Trekky Records on February 4, 2011 with the addition of previously unreleased tracks. 　　On March 20, 2012, ANTI-Records released A Church That Fits Our Needs, Lost in the Trees' second record with the label.Picker based the album largely on his mother's suicide in 2008, stating that "I wanted to give my mother a space to become all the things I think she deserved to be and wanted to be, and all the beautiful things in her that didn't quite shine while she was alive." 　　Rolling Stone said of the album, "Ari Picker tries to make sense of his mother's suicide against a backdrop of rich orchestration, piled generously atop a base of delicate acoustic folk like heaping spoonfuls of vanilla frosting."PopMatters said "A Church That Fits Our Needs bursts with the same melodic interplay that makes later Radiohead extraordinary." 　　A Church That Fits Our Needs peaked at No. 9 on Billboard's Heatseeker's Albums.
