Further From the Truth
[EFA]
If the term "cult band" is too often misused, there's undeniably a formation on which everybody agree, And Also the Trees. Indeed, the Jones brothers managed to create an unique sound and to develop a very particular atmosphere, dipping out of raw emotions. An odd band who succeeded where few did, indeed, Simon Huw and Justin Jones transcend all the tension of their compositions when they perform it on stage, making of each concert an unforgettable meeting with their public.
"Further From the Truth" follows "Silver Soul" released five years ago. The eleven new compositions have neither the emphasis of their first albums, nor the blackness of the next ones, but a serenity and a simply charming sweetness come out of them. When Justin says that "several listenings are necessary to understand this record", he really means it, take your time to discover it, to try to tame it and seep into it to fully appreciate it. It's not that its access is difficult, on the contrary, it seems particularly accessible at first with its homogeneous compositions, but it surely is more intimist to what the band got us used to until now, it's simple, without accessory elements nor outburst. It's like if "Further From the Truth" got us closer to these geniuses with their everlasting ageless sensitivity.
