The two sets of brothers that made up the initial lineup of And Also The Trees might have seemed initially unlikely to a number of their rural Worcestershire fellows to break out beyond local circles, but when they caught the ear of the Cure, everything changed thereafter. Lol Tolhurst’s production certainly emphasizes a darker edge shared between the bands but AATT’s own striking aesthetic approach — lyrics delivered almost like windswept poetry, at times a musical sense of something pre-modern seeping through into a current day and age — remains clear.
