Tim Grimm’s last album (The Little In-Between, 2023) was a vessel for intensely personal, solitary songs, and production on The Little In-Between was appropriately spare. In Bones of Trees, Tim Grimm zooms his songwriting lens back outward, writing keen social observations in the voices of vibrant characters from his life, travels, and imagination.

Bones of Trees also finds Grimm surrounded by robust new community, with harmony vocals on seven songs and rich, varied instrumentation provided by a posse of Grimm’s close friends and a variety of noted musicians from America and the UK, where Grimm frequently travels (including master guitarist Sergio Webb’s electric guitar and dobro, Jono Manson’s rustic percussion, Scottish singer Beth Malcolm’s ethereal harmonies, and Dougie Pincock’s Scottish pipes).
