» Rain in Spring

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 Châtelet les Halles) at FNAC 17:00 (free entry) Album review on Popnews (in French)

» '1980 - 2005'

While working on new material the 'Trees have decided to release a retrospective with 18 songs covering the whole back-cataloge. It will be called, quite simply '1980-2005'. It is an introduction to the works of AATT and can be considered as a follow-up to 'From Horizon to Horizon' which was published 1993 and is out-of-print since many years.

The album was released on July, 18th. It is an AATT release and is being distributed through Normal/Indigo in Germany. You can get your hands on a copy of the nice digi-pack either on amazon, alphamusic, tarantula or ordering the album directly from the band.
Please find the tracklist in the comments.

» Futher From The Truth album released

The long awaited new album of the legendary dark music quartet marks a departure from the 50's Noir influences of their more recent albums & reverts instead to a simple & pure distillation of a more traditional AND ALSO THE TREES sound closer in spirit to their classic Virus Meadow album.

"We've always worked purely on instinct. I guess that's why record companies always considered us 'difficult'. They would ask us to produce a hit single & we would reply with 'A Room Lives In Lucy'! Our agenda was never about being rock stars...in the beginning all we wanted to do was play, maybe make a 7" or record a Peel Session. In nearly 25 years I don't think we've ever sat down and said "OK the next album will sound like this...". What happens is what happens. I guess it's that 'punk' ideology that we've never really grown out of. The idea of 'selling out' to commercialism, it's not us..." Steven @ AATT Untangled        

To coincide with the new album release AND ALSO THE TREES will be embarking upon a short series of very rare live dates.
