Wiretree is singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Kevin Peroni. He began
working as Wiretree in 1994 crafting songs in his
bedroom studio while holding a daytime job Austin, TX. After writing for several
years, songs began to accumulate, resulting his first
self-titled EP, released in early 2005, essentially a sample of homemade demos.
His eagerly awaited full-length album Bouldin,
released in early 2007.
Growing up in Corpus Christi, TX Peroni played guitar, keyboards, and/or bass in
a succession of local bands in his teen years,
influenced by The La's, The Beatles and later Radiohead, Sparklehorse and Jason
Falkner.
Absolute Power Pop - "Things start off with "Big
Coat", an excellent shuffle that's instantly catchy. Meanwhile, "Secret Law"
sounds like Tom Petty meets The Pernice Brothers;
"Feel Me" has that "Blood and Roses" feel to it; "Don't Need It" is an untempo
marvel that has an early Posies sound; "Notion" is a
great keyboard and acoustic guitar-driven number; and I'm not sure I'll hear a
more beautiful melody the rest of the year than the
one belonging to "Whirl", although the closing track that follows it,
"Summercity", comes damn close."
