Having recently appeared as special guests of The Cure for three shows at the Festival de Nîmes in France, the UK alternative rock act And Also The Trees (AATT) are on tour this autumn for eleven shows in the UK, Benelux and Germany.
The group are promoting their new album, ‘The Devil’s Door’, a quiet storm of a record that is by turns filmic, poetic and intense, with an undercurrent of dark psychedelia. Released in late February, it follows ‘The Bone Carver’ (2023) and ‘Mother-of-pearl-Moon’ (2024) in completing a trilogy of releases by the current line-up of what is one of the original UK post-punk acts.
Featuring signature AATT tropes that include poetic lyrics, orchestral guitar and soundtrack-influenced songs inspired by newsreel, oil paintings and folklore, it also adds some surprising instrumentation – including violinist Catherine Graindorge – that skew the album towards a world where John Barry meets Béla Bartók.
“Feels like the soundtrack to a tense desert standoff and is so atmospheric you can smell the tumbleweed. Not exactly mass appeal, but massively appealing” CLASSIC ROCK (UK)
“They have navigated the years with an extremely rare consistency, creativity, composition, arrangements—and, last but not least, beauty. This album is a masterpiece” ROCK & FOLK (FR)
“An intoxicating blend of atmospheric post-punk and mesmerising dark folk, featuring smooth contours and noir-esque charms” ROCKERILLA (IT)
“A beautifully recorded album carefully designed and crafted to envelop listeners. Balancing power with delicacy, it taps into their essence with customary skill” BLITZED (UK)
“Remarkable emotional precision and shifting arrangements, ranging from spectral folk tinged with subtle jazzy pulses and velvety vocals to an ambient soundscape enveloped in drifting instrumentation” NEW NOISE (FR)
“With vocals that recall the lyrical side of Nick Cave, guitar work that deftly navigates between electric tones and acoustic passages, plus clarinet and keyboards, this album has a cinematic quality” BUSCADERO (IT)
AATT was formed in 1979 in rural Worcestershire, an environment that has provided a constant inspiration to a group whose music has often explored the dark underbelly as well as the beauty of the British countryside. They are renowned for their captivating live performances, a unique style of mandolin-like electric guitar, evocative lyrics and dark jazz rhythms – not to mention a creative independence fiercely preserved for well over four decades.
Founded by singer Simon Jones and his guitarist brother Justin, AATT have maintained a continuous presence on the post-punk and alternative rock scenes worldwide. They have released sixteen studio albums to date.
