Our Take

Album Review: AND ALSO THE TREES - Mother-Of-Pearl Moon

If Tim Burton decided to start a band, AND ALSO THE TREES would be his chosen ensemble. Their latest release, "Mother-Of-Pearl Moon," is a hauntingly beautiful journey through the depths of melancholy and mystique.

From the opening track, "Moonrise" sets the tone with its eerie melodies and poetic lyrics that transport you to a moonlit forest where shadows dance among the trees. The band effortlessly blends elements of post-punk and folk, creating a sound that is both ethereal and chilling.

Lead vocalist Simon Huw Jones delivers haunting vocals that will send shivers down your spine, while the band's atmospheric instrumentation weaves a tapestry of sound that is both captivating and unnerving.

Standout tracks like "Ghost of Orion" and "Silver Soul" showcase the band's talent for creating atmospheric landscapes that are both intricate and emotive. Each song feels like a dream within a dream, with layers of sound that reveal hidden depths upon each listen.

Overall, "Mother-Of-Pearl Moon" is a mesmerizing album that will appeal to fans of dark, atmospheric music. AND ALSO THE TREES have crafted a sonic world that is both hauntingly beautiful and intensely captivating. If you're looking for music that will transport you to another realm, look no further than this stunning album.
