\u2018The Devil\u2019s Door\u2019 sees And also the trees<\/strong> (AATT) present a quiet storm of an album. At times filmic, poetic and intense, with an undercurrent of dark psychedelia, it follows \u2018The Bone Carver\u2019 (2023) and \u2018Mother-of-pearl-Moon\u2019 (2024) in completing a trilogy of releases by the current line-up of one of the original UK post-punk acts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new record features signature AATT tropes that include poetic lyrics, orchestral guitar and soundtrack influenced songs inspired by newsreel, oil paintings and folklore. However, it also adds some surprising instrumentation – including guest violinist Catherine Graindorge – that skews the album towards a soundworld where John Barry meets B\u00e9la Bart\u00f3k.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AATT 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. AATT 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 over four decades.

The group have a long standing relationship with the Cure and have both played and worked together since the early \u201980s. As part of AATT\u2019s 2026 touring schedule, they will be special guests of the Cure for three shows at the Festival de N\u00eemes in southern France in late July. These will be preceded by early spring dates in Belgium, France and Greece:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
