Synopsis

Album Description

Over the past ten years, Dirty Three guitarist Mick Turner has taken many forms. He?s a guitarist for hire - remember that awesome Cat Power record he did? Or his turn as The Marquis de Tren opposite our very own Bonny Billy? Plus, he paints - look at the cover of the record we?re advertising here if you don?t believe us. But mostly, Mick plays himself in solo recordings or collaborations with his Dirty Three skin basher, Jim White, where the two of them go under the moniker Tren Brothers. BLUE TREES is the first Mick Turner release in five years! BLUE TREES compiles hard-to-find singles from Mick Turner and Tren Bros. - all now in one digital place!

CD Reviews

Guitar-loop soundtrack warmth

T. M. Orange | 03/17/2008

(5 out of 5 stars)

"When guitarist Mick Turner and his drummer/Tren Brother Jim White team up (they have also played behind Will Oldham and on Cat Power's Moon Pix recording), they reprise two-thirds of the Dirty Three, the vocal-less purveyors of classic soundtracks for every nod-off occasion. Warren Ellis' violin is the missing third term here, but fret not: swap that out for some gentle keyboards, electronics and guitar loops and you have a slightly more experimental take on what is essentially that same, warm/cool feeling inside the D3 perfected. Slightly more cinematic perhaps: in fact in live performance Turner has his own films and paintings rolling on a backdrop. Some tracks are almost a-tempo ("Jenny's Song," "Sunny Xmas Day" and the "Angel" series) while "Help Mr Rabbit, I Can't Get Out" gets the star for actually rocking (and the great title). Pick one and settle back for a nice ride, you won't go wrong. In fact, you'll be very glad the good folks at Drag City put this one together: a compilation CD that gathers rare and previously hard-to-get tracks from limited-edition CDs, 7" vinyl and whatnot.
