13th studio album by And Also the Trees is another self-released and self-produced album, which is the continued (good) style from their 2007 release, (Listen For) The Rag and Bone Man only with a more alt rock, folk rock element in the gloomy tristesse. Before this they released two acoustic albums with Driftwood (2011) as the most recent. Two albums that possibly made the band understand how powerful their back catalog is without keyboards and synths to express musical dynamics, and those experiences have helped shaping this album, I think.
