Taken With Taken By Trees

I have heard a lot about Taken By Trees in the past 6 months or so, most of it stemming from the cover she did of Animal Collective's "My Girls." While it's great that this Swedish lady got exposure through that, I hope that people realize that she's more than a one trick pony - I dismissed her as another one-and-done cover artist and didn't take the time to check out her other stuff.

My loss.

I finally got around to checking out more from her prior to seeing her perform along with El Perro Del Mar on Tuesday night. Wow. Some of the songs are pretty mediocre, but some of them are straight money. Noah Lennox (of Animal Collective) sings backup on "Anna," a really beautiful tune, and "Greyest Love Of All" has been my jam for like two days straight. I really dig 'em, hope you do too.
