And Also the Trees

And Also the Trees mark 45 years of career and 14 albums while maintaining their independence. The British group, formed around the Jones brothers, now move at some distance from the coldwave and gothic rock labels they helped shape alongside The Cure in the early 1980s. Their signature remains intact: precisely patterned guitar, narrative vocals, supple bass lines, crisp percussion, and a sense of atmosphere that privileges space and nuance.

Since the acoustic interlude of the 2010s, opened by When The Rain Comes and extended by Driftwood, the band has found new momentum. Releases have followed in quick succession, the material has become more refined, and on stage And Also the Trees favour a calm tension, spare arrangements and particular attention to the lyrics, without gratuitous effects.

In 2024 Mother-of-Pearl Moon appeared, less than two years after The Bone Carver. On this record the orchestration — discreet but detailed — introduces electronic textures in tasteful touches. This recent repertoire, combined with foundational tracks, will guide their return to Paris. See them at La Gaîté Lyrique, Paris, on 22 March 2026 to catch And Also the Trees in a contemporary form, true to their trajectory yet open to new colours.
