Creatures of Comfort SS13
Last month, Victoria Bergsman had the absolute pleasure of starring in Creatures of Comfort Spring/Summer 2013 video, made especially for style.com. Shot in beautiful Topanga Canyon by photographer Nicholas Haggard, the track, “Only You,” from the album, Other Worlds, is a perfect soundtrack for the new collection.
Enjoy it here:

And to celebrate the new collection and its video, Taken By Trees played an intimate performance at Creatures of Comfort’s NY location on October 8th. Here’s a clip of “Dreams” from that evening.
Massive love and thanks to Creatures of Comfort and Jade Lai for having us. xx

Here is a brand new video for “Large” from the recently released album, Other Worlds. Directed by Ariel Rechtshaid (Solange, Blood Orange, Usher), the video was shot entirely on an iPhone.
Rechtshaid waxes poetic on the process of creating the video with Victoria Bergsman:
I used to live in downtown L.A.
I’d spend many hours alone in some of these places.
I have intense associations to a different time in my life when I visit these places.
I wanted to catch the vibe of reflecting on these feelings.
Vicky B is new to LA. She’s just discovering these places.
We found a dope band playing in the lobby of the Bonaventure.
They felt the vibe.
We took it back to EPA and the LA river.
It gets hectic on EPA.
Vicky reps West Coast well.
Can I get some free Apple shit for doing this?

“Other Worlds” is out today and I’m taking over Gorilla vs Bear! Check it out throughout the day - I’ll be posting about the music and food influences in the making of the album, how the cover artwork came to be and what it’s like living in California.
