Trails and Ways
Trails and Ways is an indie pop band from Oakland, California. The band consists of Hannah Van Loon (vocals, guitar, and keyboard), Ian Quirk (vocals and percussion), Keith Brower Brown (vocals, guitar, and keyboard), and Emma Oppen (vocals and bass).
History
The members of Trails and Ways met while attending UC Berkeley, and the band was formed in early 2012, after members had lived abroad in Brazil and Spain. Their songs have included Spanish and Portuguese, and their lyrics have been described as "decidedly political".[1] For example, their song "Skeletons" is about dancing at a club, then being "fast-forwarded a thousand years to what was left of the club on an ecologically collapsed earth".[2] In 2015, they signed on with Barsuk Records.[3]
Environmental activism
Band member Keith Brown also worked on Float Map, an interactive website launched in 2015 that projects climate change impacts to American communities in the 2040-2070s.
