Untangled Entangled

2010-04-15T00:01:00.006+02:00

I got news that the content management system that "AATT Untangled" is using will be shut in it's current form 1st. May 2010. This means the news site won't be able to be updated beginning of May 2010 for some weeks. Rest assured all album pages, BTH and your news comments available so far will remain online and won't get lost and the live page still up-to-date ...

AATT Untangled had more than 100.000 visitors since its start in 2003 and many of you - fans and artists alike - regulary visit and participate to this site. Thank you for your continued support!
I will try to find a reasonable solution to upkeep the site but consider any possibilities with people get well informed these days with interactive network places like myspace and facebook...

Couds, Paperships and Fallen Angels

2010-04-02T00:01:00.002+02:00

Dark Orange's new album "Couds, Paperships and Fallen Angels" features guest musicians such as Steven Burrows and Emer Brizzolara from the English "And Also The Trees" and Jan Ross and Brida Garland of Mexico City's "Morfeo Speaks". The last sound comes from Robin Guthrie, well known from the legendary "Cocteau Twins" or his solo-projects...

Dark Orange's new album will feature the AATT cover song "The House of the Heart" originally released for Beyond The Horizon.

Dark Orange is now a German-French band consisting of the two founding members, Katrin-Elna and Dirk Odu and the French Soundspecialist Olivier Goyet. Density and atmospheric songs full of guitars with Katrin Elnas heavenly voices, reminiscent of the old 4AD-sounds, but also spherical ambient and trip-hop-containing factors. Dark Orange also relate well to their own past as one of the first "Heavenly Voices" bands of the legendary Hyperium label. "Couds, Paperships and Fallen Angels" will be released 14th. of May 2010 on Kalinkaland records.

You can get your hands on the new album here.

"FOUR PURPLE SHADOWS IN THE BELLY OF THE NIGHT"

AATT "On Stage" 05|02|2010 in Larissa by George Georgiou

Exactly one year after their first gig in Larissa, persistent travellers of mysterious tunes, legendary "And Also The trees" from Worcestershire return as a quartet to prove on "Stage" that their acoustic experimental roaming was driven by serious artistic reasons. Standing severe under distinctive low light, they draw an imaginary curtain uncovering the point of departure in their career as haunted "Shantell" opens a sly purple hole in the belly of the night. "Candace" holds its ground for all those familiar with "When the rains come" until the surprising refreshing person of "The suffering of the stream" races that same old odd narration with the chilling company of dark backing vocals. The warning for "...The accordion girl" souds like a tail of revenge for the former shortcut beside the stream, to find a suitable follower to the old macabre classic "There was a man of double deed". "Fighting in a lighthouse" for those being close to their americana trilogy, sounds now like a musical spy, determined to get familiar with the rest of their moods, echoing with a mysterious allusion. Impressions turn tender with the smooth glove of "Dialogue" like a thin carpet of innocent dust on a faded sentiment. Justin grabs the accordion for another crushing journey in time to recall the echo of "The street organ" and "Mary of the woods" finds a temporary exit of strong memories long forgotten. The restless steps of "Jacob Fleet" drove us once more to our hypothetical inner rage to race something we miss and don't know what, and nice vocal harmonies reinvented "The cyclone", an isolated almost neoclassical diamond in the road trip of "Silver soul". Then the night had to suffer to take in a small piece the whole heart of Europe as eternal "Belief in the rose" revealed its wisdom amed with a bittersweet reflection strong enough to make everybody believe this was the serious end of something beyond description. Only the mystical heresy of "Mermen of the lea" could make a strong link of the chain and drive back to another room of "...Lucy" getting now suspicious and turning tension to expectation. The familiar theme of "The untangled man" started spinning in a circle to the end of the basic part of the show. The weird steps of "Vincent Craine" and the hesitant mood of "Feeling fine" lead to the all time classic "Virus meadow" blessedly cursed to sound eerie and endless even in its new acoustic costume. The four shadows stepped down the stage, marched between the audience and left their absolute reasons sink in the tired and dizzy entrails of a long February night...

The new acoustic album 'When the rains come' can now be orderd from the official website and will be avialable in your trusted record shop on June 8th.

Recorded in a single four day session in a barn in rural Herefordshire 'And also the trees' succeeded in capturing a feeling of spontaneous vitality, from the 'live' situation and a sense of space and detail from the ancient and sparse environment. The 14 songs selected from throughout their song writing history are performed and carefully arranged for vocal, acoustic guitar and double bass with the occasional accompaniment of dulcimer, accordion and melodica.

To those familiar with the universe of 'And also the trees' these captivating recordings will provide an exciting redefinition of their rich melodies and unique musical landscapes and atmospheres. To the uninitiated or those who thought they knew who this band were it will be a surprise.
Their fierce sense of independence and non conformist attitude have always made them hard to accurately categorize. 'When the rains come" is a fantastic opportunity to discover, or rediscover 'And also the trees'.

The band will showcase the new album on Wednesday, June 10th in Paris
(Forum Ch�telet les Halles) at FNAC 17:00 (free entry)
