It is always difficult to be objective about a band you have been aware of for decades, a band you have socilaised with, drunk with and supported on stage...
And Also The Trees always manage to deliver a well thought out product (with out sounding pretentious and 'Arty') the concept, the execution, the complete package is always 'very interesting'. The almost melancholic delivery of the words, the guitars that pull you into a loop and flick you off on to a different tangent - which crisscrosses the rest of the emotional mix, creates a fantastic dark labyrinth to get lost in. Apart from that they produce cracking good intelligent songs.
From a village in Worcestershire, brothers Simon (vocals) and Justin Jones (guitar) formed And Also The Trees in 1979 and have been recording and playing live virtually ever since.

ReplyDeletetheres a time i havent heard about this band i listenened some years ago now .
... they were associated with The Cure back in the 1980's with their first release produced by one of them (I can't remember which one) - their sound now is more folk/jazz/Goth? which is actually very listenable...
