Our Take

Alright, let's dive into the ethereal soundscape of And Also the Trees' latest offering, "The Bone Carver." This album is like a haunted forest at midnight, with haunting melodies and chilling vocals that transport you to another realm.

The band's signature blend of post-punk and folk influences shines through on tracks like "Shafts of Sunlight" and "Leaves That Are Green." The intricate guitar work and atmospheric production create a mesmerising sonic tapestry that pulls you in and doesn't let go.

Lead singer Simon Huw Jones's haunting vocals weave tales of lost love and longing, drawing you deeper into the dark, mysterious world of the album. The lyrics are poetic and cryptic, leaving plenty of room for interpretation and introspection.

"The Bone Carver" is a masterclass in mood and atmosphere, with each track building on the last to create a truly immersive listening experience. This is music to get lost in, to let wash over you like a wave of darkness and light.

In conclusion, And Also the Trees have crafted a hauntingly beautiful album that will appeal to fans of atmospheric, introspective music. "The Bone Carver" is a bewitching journey through the shadows, a reminder of the power of music to transport and transform. Dive in and let yourself be carried away.

About the artist

And Also the Trees

And Also the Trees are the enigmatic, gothic outfit hailing from Worcestershire, England, known for their haunting melodies and poetic lyricism. Formed in 1979, the band consists of guitarist Justin Jones, his brother Simon Jones on bass, Nick Havas on drums, and Steven Burrows on vocals. Their sound can be described as a unique blend of post-punk, folk and art rock, with a touch of ethereal beauty that sets them apart from their peers. With intricate guitar work, atmospheric synths, and Burrows' evocative vocals, And Also the Trees create a sonic landscape that transports listeners to another world. Their debut album "And Also the Trees" released in 1984, garnered critical acclaim and established them as pioneers of the gothic rock genre. Songs like "The Headless Clay Woman" and "The Critical Distance" showcase their ability to craft mesmerizing music that lingers long after the final notes fade. Despite their cult status and influence on bands like The Cure and The Smiths, And Also the Trees remain a hidden gem in the music industry. Their latest album "Born into the Waves" released in 2016, proves that they are still at the top of their game, delivering haunting melodies and introspective lyrics that captivate audiences. With a career spanning over four decades, And Also the Trees continue to defy categorization and push the boundaries of music. Their live performances are a testament to their artistry, with a stage presence that is both enigmatic and mesmerizing. In a world filled with cookie-cutter bands, And Also the Trees stand out as true originals, making them a must-listen for any music aficionado.
