On The Shore
Following the recently released and highly praised Trees 50th Anniversary box set on Earth Recordings, Trees reissue their second album as a standalone release. âA 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 secretâ Edd Gibson, Friendly Fires. Itâs now over fifty years since Treesâ formation, a band who helped define âAcid Folkâ, creating a sub-category in the lexicon of record dealers and music critics alike.
Released just months after their debut second album, âOn The Shoreâ 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 âSoldiers Threeâ, learned from Dave Swarbrick, the album includes another traditional tune and one of the definitive moments in English folk rock âPolly On The Shoreâ alongside âSally Free and Easyâ and âStreets of Derryâ.
