2009 release, an album containing acoustic/classical versions of And Also the Trees songs recorded earlier this year in a barn in the English countryside. English band And Also The Trees takes us on a dreamlike journey through dark landscapes populated by stray nursery rhyme characters, mysterious woman who peer into the psyche and pools of light that appear like reflections of their pastoral upbringing... touched by the likes of Scott Walker, Tom Waits, Calexico and Arthur Lee's Love. In the early 80's this seminal band, described by John Peel as "too English for the English" and still often cited by Robert Smith of The Cure as his favorite band, have been constantly active - releasing 10 studio albums, numerous live and compilation albums and forging a reputation as a fiercely independent group of musicians for whom artistic integrity has always held court over commercial gain.
