Lost In The Trees is an orchestral folk-pop band that emerges from Chapel Hill, North Carolina, known for their cinematic blend of classical instrumentation and indie rock. The ensemble was spearheaded by composer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist Ari Picker, who began the project as a means to weave his deeply personal storytelling with a rich tapestry of classical music roots and folk sensibility. Lost In The Trees has been celebrated for their stirring lyrics, emotive string arrangements, and ethereal melodies.

The band came into prominence with the release of "All Alone In An Empty House," which showcased their baroque indie-folk style. However, it was "A Church That Fits Our Needs," a poignant tribute to Picker’s late mother, that truly set them apart in the indie music scene and was heralded by critics for its emotional depth and lush orchestration. Following this, Lost In The Trees took a bold step forward with "Past Life," where they stripped back the layers for a more minimalist sound while maintaining the haunting beauty that defines their work. Albums such as "Time Taunts Me" and EPs like "I Was A Dreamer" continue to captivate listeners, drawing them into introspective journeys through life’s complexities and wonders. Lost In The Trees stands as a testament to the power of fusion between orchestral grandeur and the intimacy of folk storytelling.
