Watch Tree’s Video for “Stuck Down the Wrong Rabbit Hole” ft. Beat Culture & Lena Kuhn

This video by Santa Cruz-based musician Oliver Tree Nickell—known as Tree—totally reminds me of being that kid who was into squeezing through holes and clambering over fences, falling into people’s private property searching for secret worlds. Except in this six minute short, which Tree conceived and co-directed (with Steve Dabal), he’s chasing a white bunny and working with sweet set of wheels that he can’t drive.

I’m also heavily into the featured real life Ewok village (where is that and when can I move in?), and the fact that Tree starts off looking like Luke Skywalker before disrobing a la Channing Tatum in Magic Mike. Musically “Stuck Down the Rabbit Hole” is a twinkly, carefree concoction that floats by on shimmering synths and weird reverse incantations. It’s a tune that’s only tethered to this earth thanks to a bloopy bassline. Like the video, “Stuck Down the Wrong Rabbit Hole” is a certain kind of magic.

“Stuck Down the Wrong Rabbit Hole” is lifted from Tree’s Demons EP, out now via Apollo Records.

Kim was never caught and she never will be, but she is on Twitter – @theKTB.
