Lovely Trees is the musical project of Toronto singer-songwriter and producer Sally McKay. Blending acoustic instrumentation with atmospheric electronics, her songs move through intimacy, longing, memory, and the shifting nature of human connection.

Before Lovely Trees, McKay recorded and performed in Toronto under the names Phauna and Lovage. Following the loss of her husband and longtime musical partner Mike Young in 2018, she began writing and self-producing a new body of work from her home studio, creating music that explored stillness, vulnerability, devotion, and transformation.

The debut album, Songs for the Visitor, introduced listeners to Lovely Trees’ immersive world of downtempo rhythms, cinematic textures, and emotionally direct songwriting. Much of the album was recorded in isolation during lockdown, with McKay performing and producing the work independently.

Now, Lovely Trees enters a new chapter with the upcoming album Devotion Scenes, arriving fall 2026. While still grounded in emotional honesty, the new material expands into more vivid and immediate territory — balancing electronic pulse, intimacy, and sweeping atmosphere.

The first single, Knees, is out May 29.
