Release context
HypoGeo is Emilio Moretto's Italian psychedelic trance project and one of the defining names in dark progressive psytrance. Tree of Lies established the project's approach through slow-burning arrangements, heavy low-end and an atmosphere that deliberately avoided the brighter language of mainstream progressive trance.
Tree of Lies is HypoGeo's 2012 debut album and the record that firmly established Emilio Moretto's dark-progressive approach. Its slower tempos, heavy low-end and shadowy atmosphere helped define a branch of progressive psytrance that was deliberately removed from the brighter festival sound of the period.
