 The Klaxon - And Also the Trees
Description: Artist: And Also The Trees / Genre: Pop & Rock / Release Date: 1999 Newest Review: ... psychedelic bands like the Doors in particular, and of course the gothic rock movement, Simon Jones' dreary croon sounding ... more  ... like a chronically depressed Jim Morrison from the West Country. If you can't conceive of such a thing, you really should check out one of this band's albums.
'The Klaxon' is forty minutes of predominantly downbeat music, with occasional glimmers of hope and none of the pure dirginess of some goth bands, especially when the twangy Morricone guitars are in full force.
