Taken By Trees- East of Eden (2009)



Taken by Trees is the solo project of Victoria Bergsman, former lead singer for The Concretes. The act's debut album, Open Field, was released on June 18, 2007. Four demo songs ("Tell Me", "Too Young", "Lost and Found" and "Hours Pass Like Centuries") had previously been recorded under the production of Björn Yttling (of Peter Bjorn and John) and were available on the band's official website beginning September 13, 2006. The second Taken by Trees album, East of Eden, was available for streaming on Drowned in Sound, and was released on September 7th, 2009 in the U.K., and the next day in the U.S.

This album is by far one of the best, if not the best, album that has come out this year. With a cover of the famed Animal Collective track "My Girls," Victoria Bergsman sings her rendition entitled "My Boys." An absolutely incredible tune. This album is like going to india and making some indie pop. Pure Genius! Please enjoy.
