Fishing For Compliments – Drunken Tree

Fishing For Compliments are a five piece indie/folk/pop band from mighty Huddersfield. Formed around lead singer Eileen’s songs, the band have honed their own sound which has been described as “unique”, “upbeat” and “uplifting.” Drawing on eclectic influences, the band released their debut album Off The Isle of Somewhere in 2020. They have received award nominations, gigged at venues and festivals across the North and they are currently putting the finishing touches to their second album.

Drunken Tree is a soothing, folky number with jangly guitar, evocative lyrics and a ridiculously catchy chorus. The backing vocals and harmonies give the hook an almost anthemic feel and Eileen’s vocals are a powerful and expressive vessel for the song’s story to unfold. The song’s themes touch on addiction and being tempted into unhealthy coping mechanisms, all of which is very universal and relatable.
