first spun their "Unique" Psyche-folk/rock at the beginning of the year 2000, swiftly creating a subtle shifting of the morning mist which conceals the secret longing of the child in all...

Out of this potpourri of sound and images began to pour works of strong melodic beauty... haunting ballads of yester-year fused with the late 60's psyche freedom, and hints of necessary self-preserving cynicism.
"The very Soul of music is dying", says Sean Robert Chambers, "We simply must do more than merely paint over the rust".

These words maybe "words", but they are touching a nerve in those who now wish to awaken.

Ethereal, yet real: music for Mind and Body for our new millenia.

"This album is a must for those who still strive to dream,
For they shall manifest their dreams into reality".

Reviews

"This UK quartet play a
marvelously tuneful sort of folk rock with gleaming sixties influences,
but enough energy and invention to overcome mere retroactivity. Byrds,
Beau Brummels, Pentangle, and others seem to be reference points, but
they also bear kinship to contemporary outfits like The Virgineers,
Lucky Bishops, Kings Of Convenience, Kitchen Cynics, The Clientele,
Green Pajamas, Witch Hazel Sound, Lazily Spun and Outrageous Cherry.
This is one of those debut's so fully realized that it's difficult to
imagine what they'll do next time out; but here and now this is a modern
psychedelic pop masterpiece of some sort certainly. Their cover the
Jefferson Airplane's Lather is only one of the highlights, but I
actually prefer their originals. Steel Plastic Centipede has a ringing
hopeful tone under it's Rickenbacker 12-stringed wings. They sound
sincere, and they can really sing and harmonize well, which adds so much
to their gentle melodic sound. But it's the unified high quality of
their songs and playing that make this a real gem." (Dream Magazine no.3)

TALKING TREES - s/t
Debut album by band from Bicester, Oxon UK, who make the trees talk and the byrds sing. British psych pop with influences of American West Coast sound in Jefferson Airplane vein (the album contains a cover of Grace Slick's Lather"), folky 12-string Rickenbacker dominated Byrds-like harmonies, breezy Simon & Garfunkel touches. Also reminds of the current psych pop of Green Pajamas. In spite of all the influences mentioned Talking Trees are identifyiably British like a summer wind blowing over Wicken Fen.

Talking Trees are:
Sean Robert Chambers (vocals, acoustic & electric guitars, songs)
Stephen O'Sullivan (bass huitar)
Steve Tucker (organs, piano)
Dan Barrow (drums)
