    With Past Life, Lost in the Trees have risen to the occasion and crafted a record that's no less haunted, but decidedly more open to interpretation.

    Past Life is a major stride forward for a very talented group who have until now only teased their potential.

    Past Life is a controlled but never too controlled affair, a great pop-rock record from a band treading new ground.

    The result is Past Life, a chilling, straightforward album that is more concerned with soulful riffs, pulsing bass lines and soaring vocal melodies than grandiose, classical-inflected anthems.

    The album as a whole is still more interesting than any of its individual parts, but now we can truly appreciate each and every fragment.

    Lost In The Trees might not be as distinctive as they once were, but they still make highly emotional music; it's just better disguised than it was in the past.

    It’s doubtful anyone will stroll about humming these tunes, but so too, it wouldn’t be at all surprising to find there’s something about them that’s all but impossible to shake.

    This new approach does not work consistently, however. Occasionally it sounds unfulfilled, like melodies drifting off into nowhere only to find their way back and repeat, lost in a gloomy haze of steady rhythms.
