The Profile

And Also the Trees are a British post-punk band formed in Worcestershire in 1979 by brothers Simon Huw Jones and Justin Jones. Early ties to The Cure helped launch their career, while their own path became known for evocative lyrics, atmospheric guitars, and nature-steeped imagery.

Formed in 1979 in Worcestershire, England; core members include Simon Huw Jones (vocals) and Justin Jones (guitar). Early association with The Cure (opened shows; Lol Tolhurst produced early singles). Notable albums include Virus Meadow (1986), The Klaxon (1993), and Silver Soul (1998). Active from 1979 to the present.

Reviews portray And Also the Trees as evolving from dark, rural post-punk into urban, noir-tinted soundscapes without losing identity. The Klaxon and Silver Soul earn high praise for cinematic atmospheres and refined songwriting. Virus Meadow and the self-titled debut are framed in the shadow of The Cure, yet with distinct theatrical vocals and nature-steeped themes. Farewell to the Shade emphasizes medieval tinges and chamber nuances. A 2008 live review highlights sophistication and warmth on stage.

Notable Quotes

❝ The Klaxon is a small masterpiece of gothic-surf chamber rock, imbued with sun and shadow, unexpectedly swinging.
❝ “Silver Soul” is thus an enchanting journey through time and space, an inspired work with which And Also The Trees confirm all their class and ideally close the “American trilogy” started half a decade earlier.
❝ They were one of the greatest bands of the new-wave, they have become one of the most elegant formations of today’s independent music.
❝ Well, the album resonates darkly, not spectral but rather warm, distressing, claustrophobic, with a dose of malice and theatricality superior to The Cure.
❝ It was 1986, the year this album, “Virus Meadow,” came to light, a small compendium of black-natured insights.
