And Also The Trees
Some words from their official biography: Established in 1979 in a small village in Worcestershire, England and inspired by the ideology of a still-developing post-punk movement, AND ALSO THE TREES from their very beginnings were different. Unlike more urban contemporaries such as PIL, JOY DIVISION and THE GANG OF FOUR, AND ALSO THE TREES were influenced almost exclusively by the landscape and history of the rural environment that surrounded them - an influence that has remained throughout their entire existence to this day. […] Their first, self-titled, full album was released in 1983. The album caught the attention of John Peel for whom they recorded a session, which no doubt helped all their early singles into the indie charts. […]
Jump to the current history! In June 2009 they released 'When The Rains Come', an acoustic album of songs from throughout their history stripped down to the bare bones and presented with remarkable poise and simplicity. A measure of the albums success and the bands reemergence was reflected not only by the positive press but in their first full tour of France for 15 years and some prestigious shows in Germany including a memorable performance in Berlin's Temporary Kunsthalle as part of internationally renowned artist John Boch's extraordinary curation. 'Hunter not the hunted' continues the compelling evolution of this rare band at what appears to be a creative peak. The new album ‘Born Into Waves’ was officially released on March 18th 2017.
Just six years after their last impressive concert at Gleis 22, the influential British Wave cult band AND ALSO THE TREES returns to Münster. With their incomparably melancholic songs, they are considered as blueprint for bands like INTERPOL and THE NATIONAL. "Stunningly dark. For fans of Nick Cave, PJ Harvey, Scott Walker, and 16 Horsepower"!
