"The garden of Jane Delawney" may be the best English psych tinged folk rock album at least as far as i know. I like its improvisational feeling. It doesn't mean there were something wrong with the songwriting. No, not at all. One half of it is traditional songs arranged by Trees and the other half is composed by band's bassist Bias Boshell. In this case that kind of mixture works perfectly. The whole atmosphere on the album is emancipated. The musicianship is great and spiritually coequal. I imagine hearing mutual appreciating in all they do. Maybe they have not fully found themselves as a group yet so they have to hear and reflect each other to know which direction to go. I can hear them being on the road not quite knowing how the trip will end and that is why it sounds so authentic. Don't get me wrong but somehow TGOJD reminds me of VanMorrison's Astral Weeks. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IOUcZGopoTU
Excellent guitar and sensitive female vocals and what i took note at the first hearing is the bass player. His role doing the ground to Trees is remarkable. It is just my humble opinion of course.
