And Also The Trees + Sons of Geometry

Diverted Sound presents And Also The Trees + Sons of Geometry Sunday 20 September 2026 Doors 7.00 pm Curfew 11.00 pm The Castle & Falcon, 402 Moseley Road, Birmingham B12 9AT. AATT will be performing songs from their latest LP (The Devil's Door) plus tracks from their extensive back catalogue... AATT is one of the original 'Post-Punk' bands, and The Devil's Door presents a quiet storm of an album. At times filmic, poetic and intense with an undercurrent of dark psychedelia. It completes a trilogy of works created by the current lineup:  'The Bone Carver', 'Mother-of-pearl Moon' and now 'The Devil's Door'.  There are signature 'And also the trees' poetic lyrics, orchestral guitar and soundtrack influenced songs inspired by newsreel, oil paintings and folklore. But with this work they have the addition of some surprising instrumentation - including guest violinist Catherine Graindorge - that skew the album towards a world where John Barry meets Bela Bartok. And also the trees (AATT) formed during the original post-punk era in rural Worcestershire, an environment that has provided a constant inspiration to a group whose music has often explored the dark underbelly as well as the beauty of the British countryside. They are renowned for their captivating live performances, a unique style of mandolin-like electric guitar, evocative lyrics and dark jazz rhythms - not to mention a creative independence fiercely preserved for over four decades. Founded by singer Simon Jones and his guitarist brother Justin, AATT have maintained a continuous presence on the post-punk, and alternative rock scenes worldwide. They have released sixteen studio albums. Sons of Geometry Sons of Geometry... deep exploration into the depths of improvised, modular synthesis.
