美国的俄亥俄州阿克伦是一个盛产后摇滚乐队的地方，像The Six Parts Seven,、Silencio,和 Mortimur等乐队皆出自于此，If These Trees Could Talk也不例外。
在初期的小试牛刀之后，乐队09年的全新专辑《Above The Earth, Below The Sky》由他们自己独立发行，一经推出就得到了乐迷的一致好评。深受Mogwai、Red Sparowes和Explosions In The Sky等前辈影响的If These Trees Could Talk，其音乐还是扎根于传统后摇滚之上，并彻底舍弃了人声。如唱片名《Above The Earth, Below The Sky》所言，整张专辑描绘的亦是一幅癫狂的景象，像是在天地之间掀起的巨浪，奔腾不息，欲罢不能。激昂的节奏是专辑给人的第一印象，紧凑庄重，回荡迂回，有时却戛然而止，便像天际坍塌、万物重生一般。
传统的三大件模式并没有限制乐队的创作力，反而让Jeff Kalal 、Cody Kelly、Mike Socrates的三把吉他发挥出咄咄逼人的气势。尽管后摇滚音乐屡屡遭到世人的怀疑，甚至让人一度以为它就要走到尽头，但每每有这种质疑时，总能有一些乐队挺身而出，甚至无需在形式上有所创新，就用旋律和节奏打造了让人信服的篇章，这实在让人欣喜。不难说，《Above The Earth, Below The Sky》就足以叫人如愿，无论是骤变的气氛，还是紧张不安的情绪，无一不体现着他们在学习前人之后的惊人创作。专辑中的歌曲，时间长短不一，既有七分钟的长曲，也有不足一分钟的小曲，或用以反复铺垫，或仅仅作为过渡，都似那多变的天气，叫人感受到大自然无穷的魅力。
If These Trees Could Talk is a post-rock instrumental group from Akron, Ohio. The band is commonly abbreviated as "ITTCT" and play a heavy shade of instrumental post rock. ITTCT self released their debut self-titled in 2006. The debut effort would later be picked up by The Mylene Sheath and also be their first release ever.
Recently, their song Malabar Front, from their self titled album, was featured in a preview for the upcoming Playstation 3 game inFamous.
