Folly Tree

Born in Canada and raised in the Middle East, Alex Moshe named her solo project Folly Tree after waking from a dream about the Tree of Knowledge, whose fruit opened Eve’s eyes in the Garden of Eden. “I woke up and I knew,” says Alex. “What’s the opposite of the Tree of Knowledge? Something more intuitive, unjudgmental, celebrating foolishness. A folly tree.” And her tree bears fruit: gorgeous, textured, experimental songs, exploring the complex emotions of budding love and healing trauma. Today, Alex is a fixture in Tel Aviv’s vivid music scene — playing with half dozen bands, as well as frequently collaborating with Raw Tapes' iogi.
