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.

» You hear the tempest beauty sigh
Long term fans will remember Dark Orange touring with And Also The Trees 1992. After a fifteen year hiatus the band did reunite last year. It's a special honor that the first new recording is a wonderful interpretation of the AATT hit single "The House Of The Heart" from 1988.
Please find the song and more infos here or take a listen on myspace.
| " ... It was a night in Berlin in November 2007 when Kirsten from the Trees asked me why we didn't make music as Dark Orange anymore. A few days later back in Hamburg, Katrin asked me if we shouldn't do some Dark Orange songs again and make the music we love so much. Coincidence? So here we are again. Starting with our interpretation of And Also The Trees' "The House Of The Heart" to say thanx to a band we have been carrying in our hearts for so many years now. And to Frank from 'And Also The Trees - Beyond the Horizon' who gave me inspiration when started to work with Dark Orange again in spring 2008. ~ Dirk of Dark Orange |

» Larissa - Stage Club
|
The clearness of a spring day in February ended to a sly rain as The Trees were almost completing their soundcheck. A few lucky who watched it heard an unbelievable version of "Under the stars", but it is rather impossible to perform the beauty of "Under the stars" in a mediocre way. As it was expected (LF)TRABM raced the basic part of their performance, starting with the epic "Domed", strong and serious enough to give the exact impression to some people who were driven to the "Stage" Club just by curiosity. The delicate esoteric, gentle satisfaction of "The beautiful silence" raised a nostalgic warmth and spread the right carpet for the dim optimism of "Under the stars". Old weird times grew furiously as "Gone...like the swallows" led Simon's voice to the familiar ending crescendo. The attractive chorus of "Dialogue" seemed to last just for one breath as "Vincent Crane" along with "He walked through the dew" drove the five silhouettes in suspiciously distant movements. "Mary of the woods" echoed definite with its eerie final promise and the ghost of "...Lucy" troubled the spirits as it always should... Turning back to the Virus period once more, "Maps in her wrists and arms" poisoned the smoky air: the older fellows started whistling and screaming to old loves never forgotten.The conception of "The untangled man", consistent and forever hunting, brought the obsessive footprints for Simon's painful dance, slowly growing into an impressive highlight. A trilogy of "The rag and bone man" was meant to complete the basic part of the setlist. Coat over his head-suspicious eyes-sly drumming steps-the storyteller unhappily is the protagonist in "The legend of Mucklow" and the tension seems to sink his strength till "The man with the drum" offers a sweet relief. "Rive Droite" walks up a hill of visions and impressions, the faces look exhausted and Paul's drumming seals the edge of the night. They disappear for a while and come back on stage with the heat of "Scarlet arch" counting an ancient time of a personal fever. When the first moments of "Virus meadow" slipped between the heads around the room, it was certain that something huge and important was floating around: some people just called it precious past. And it was not enough for anyone as the five silouettes stepped out of the stage: the last card on the table of a starless night was the everlasting flaming circle of "The slow pulse boy" always chasing the redemption... from horizon to horizon. Staring at the empty stage while faithful figures grab the setlist pages, you take a piece in your heart shaking with echoes and visions, memories and impressions lasting with persistence against the pale, predictable daily reality. While you keep returning back to it, a sanctuary for a world gently valuable, you can't stop thinking about music business being so unfair to them... |

» Comfort Zone
Shades of late 70's Peter Gabriel find a home with the experimental fringes of Joy Division to provide a bleak but fascinating world, laced with tinkling highs and disconcerting quietness.

» In my stone solemn head
The German dark rock band Golden Apes contributes an intriguing interpretation of the Green Is The Sea opener Red Valentino.
"... We wanted to arrange the original halftime into a moving wave-chorus, never getting out of mind to keep the seductions and yearnings we find in the moods 'Red Valentino' builds in our imaginations. So it became a real fulltime, with also open wave- and groovy rythm-guitars and, of course, a sensitive touchy and pathetic vocal-line ... " (Golden Apes)
