Following
the
recently
released
and
highly
praised
Trees
50th
Anniversary
box
set
on
Earth
Recordings,
Trees
reissue
their
second
album
as
a
standalone
release.
“A
beautiful
hybrid,
Trees
found
a
unique
space
between
intimate
folk
and
freewheeling
psychedelia.
Musically
ambitious
yet
brilliantly
balanced,
they
have
left
an
enduring
legacy
for
those
lucky
enough
to
be
in
on
the
secret”
Edd
Gibson,
Friendly
Fires.
It’s
now
over
fifty
years
since
Trees’
formation,
a
band
who
helped
define
‘Acid
Folk’,
creating
a
sub-category
in
the
lexicon
of
record
dealers
and
music
critics
alike.
Released
just
months
after
their
debut
second
album,
‘On
The
Shore’
sees
a
shift
from
the
first
record
into
something
darker
and
more
ambivalent
with
an
arcane
Englishness.
The
product
of
an
era
characterised
by
clunky
polemic,
arcadian
sentimentality
or
English
fuzzy-felt
surrealism,
the
album,
like
all
classic
records,
is
so
much
greater
than
the
sum
of
its
parts.
Opening
with
‘Soldiers
Three’,
learned
from
Dave
Swarbrick,
the
album
includes
another
traditional
tune
and
one
of
the
definitive
moments
in
English
folk
rock
‘Polly
On
The
Shore’
alongside
’Sally
Free
and
Easy’
and
‘Streets
of
Derry’.
