Tracklisting & More Information

Take Me To The Trees not only reconnects the band to their roots, in the fervent and fecund world of late 1970s/early 1980s post-punk Britain, but they have co-produced it with Martyn Young of Colourbox and M/A/R/R/S fame, whose last production job was 1986. In addition, the album’s beautiful cover is by venerated art director Vaughan Oliver, whose very first sleeve design was Modern English’s “Gathering Dust” single in 1980.

The band’s fired-up vitality is palpable in Take Me To The Trees pulsating opener, and first single, “You’re Corrupt”, laced with Grey’s rant against corporate greed, “and the throwaway nature of modern culture. It’s a time when even the truth is watered down.”

Album tracks “Sweet Revenge” and “Flood Of Light” have the “edgy style of our Mesh And Lace era, and are lyrically cut up and strange”, Grey says. Some songs, like ‘It Don’t Seem Right’, were written in Suffolk, England “so they’re gloomier,” while others were penned in Thailand (where McDowell lives and Grey spends a lot of time), like “Moonbeam”, “under starry skies and a full moon.” The album title Take Me To The Trees (a line from the song “Trees”), was also inspired by nature. “It seemed like a sister title to our 1982 album, After The Snow, and to us getting lost along the way”, he says.

Modern English has also found room for a new, spectral mood in the ballads “It Don’t Seem Right” (“a love song of people forced apart”) and “Come Out Of Your Hole” (which started as a sexual image “before evolving into something else altogether”).
