The Sunset Tree

Amazon.com
There has always been something about John Darnielle’s lyrics; even when you’re not exactly sure what he’s talking about, it always feels like he’s telling it like it is. Not that metaphor is a major player on The Sunset Tree, the latest album from the Mountain Goats (of which Darnielle is the founder, frontman, and once only member.) Songs like "This Year," "Dance Music," and "Hast Thou Considered the Tetrapod?" are painfully honest about his traumatic childhood and abusive stepfather. You might think that an album about child abuse would be hard to listen to, but as always, hearing Darnielle's lyrics is an honor and a privilege. Trying experiences are captured with deceptively simple statements (is there any better expression of determination than "I will make it through this year if it kills me"?) On this CD, Darnielle also remembers revered (yet cocaine-addled) reggae star Dennis Brown. ("It took all the coke in town to bring down Dennis Brown. On the day my lung collapses, we’ll see just how much it takes.") Though the Mountain Goats have apparently done well enough for Darnielle to quit his day job as a nurse, they don't yet have all the fans they deserve. Don't wait to join the fold. --Leah Weathersby

An album of unrestrained honesty, if nothing else.......2007-02-22

John Darnielle's guitar playing and compositions seems a bit rudimentary, and his voice more of a bleat (probably why he named his project the Mountain Goats), but he is one of the most admirable lyricists I can name who have been around in the last decade. His lyrics reflect on every day life and the small, mundane factors that somehow mean something, and turns them into soul-bearing and demon exorcising mantras.

The Sunset Tree is mostly based on the abuse he endured by his stepfather. One could expect a tidal wave of melodrama and whining, but somehow Darnielle turns a touchy subject such as that into something one could overcome. Some of his songs are catchy, others slow and sad, others angry, but all with an equal amount of conviction.

A song like "This Year" could be seen as a modern day anthem of empowerment, during a time in which things aren't so great, with the War in iraq, inflation, a crappy job market, etc. But a line like "I am gonna make it through this year if it kills me" is a statement of hope and determination, despite any obstacles in his life, and I can only imagine Darnielle having that thought after escaping from his childhood home... probably around 20 years ago. Not exactly sure. "Dance Music" is another interesting song about his domestic situation, and how he would hide in his room and listen to music to escape, showing that Darnielle uses music as his outlet and that he's for real. And boy is it catchy and danceable... I can't think of anyone else who would write a song about his stepfather throwing glasses against the wall with such a bouncy arrangement.

You can also glimpse into the sadness Darnielle felt. "Pale Green Things," the album's final song, is a somber song reflecting on his stepfather, and how he would take young John to the racetrack, and how John yearned for an actual relationship with him, even after his death. "Love Love Love" is also a reflection on love and hwo it leads a person to do things that are crazy and out of the ordinary. It's one of those songs you just get, without thinking about it.

The Mountain Goats are one of the most consistent bands out there now, and the Sunset Tree is a great place for a person to start when discovering their vast discography and getting into John Darnielle's world. Definitely one of the best albums of 2005.

Amazing.......2007-02-09

I've been working on some painful family history, and this cd has been very helpful in doing so. I don't listen to music much anymore, but when I do, this is the one I seem to find myself most wanting to listen to. It's pure catharsis.

There are no bad songs on this album, though if they don't elicit some sort of emotional response from you, I'm guessing you must be a robot.

I can't remember if this or Tallahassee was my first Mountain Goats CD. So far those two have been the most accessible for me to listen to. I tend to prefer a more polished sound, and most of what John Darnielle has done has unfortunately been very rough.

The Best TMG CD.......2006-09-26

Powerful is all I can say. Get this cd and you will become an instant fan. Thanks 4AD! I wouldn't have come across this band if you didn't sign them up. Oh yeah, they are also great live (I saw them during their Tallahassee tour).

The Sunset Tree.......2006-09-01

This is probably the most uplifting album in my cd collection, and definitely containing the most beautifully written lyrics. The lyrics are what hold the album together but in my opinion are also well complimented by the accompaning instruments, particularly in Love Love Love, probably my favourite from this album. This album does take quite a long time to get into - particularly if put on to relax to - as background noise.

Get this album
It's amazingly honest and beautiful in its lyrics and music, especially recommended if you feel you're in a rut, this album will make you feel better- atleast for a while. Better with each listen.

Key tracks for me:
Broom People
Dinu Lapatti's bones
Up The Wolves
Song For Dennis Brown
Love Love Love
Pale Green Things

- woops nearly mentioned all the tracks - everything is good here.
Buy this now - worth much more than the listed price.

I weep at the mere thought of this album........2006-08-15

In early 2005, I was looking for good Lo-Fi music, and someone reccomended The Mountain Goats. I then downloaded the b-side collection, Ghana, and gave it a listen. It was fun, sure, but it wasn't what I was looking for.

I then read a review for The Sunset Tree, and decided to download it. It took me over a month to get around to the album, but when I did, it lead to a two week hear-in. I attempted to listen to other music, but it was no use. The Sunset Tree had taken hold.

You'll notice that the title for this review is "I weep at the mere thought of this album", and it's quite true. I began reading a blurb for the album, but was unable to finish until many minutes later, due to the fact that, for no reason, I had started crying at the mere thought. I put the album on, and I got to "Pale Green Things", and broke down. This had never happened before, in response to anything ever.

If I were asked what the best album of this decade has been, I wouldn't spend any time thinking, as I would already know that the answer is The Sunset Tree. In all of it's beauty and wonder. It wouldn't surprise me if The Mountain Goats didn't get big. But it still disappoints me that this album hasn't made them a household name.

So, what else is there to say? I can only say that this is an album that everyone should own. In an age where youths know the lyrics of cookie cutter bands by heart, it makes me hurt to think that such beauty is often overlooked.

Dimitri Hvorostovsky, born and bred in Siberia, has Russian folk music in his soul. So do about 100 million other Russians, of course, but they don't have his magnificent voice. When his artistry is joined with that of the Saint Petersburg Chamber Chorus, the result is hard to beat, especially when the arrangements were made by such composers as Shostakovich and Rimsky-Korsakov. Don't expect happy songs, although some of the offerings on this disc, such as the title song "Kalinka," have their rollicking passages. In characteristic fashion, the lyrics dwell plaintively on laments for lost love or melancholy recollections of the Russian countryside. Unusually for a Russian chorus, the Saint Petersburg ensemble is not dominated by the lower-pitched male voices but by the women, blissfully free from stridency, who swell their cadences in the way so typical of Russian liturgical music. The disc is accompanied by the Russian text and a useful English translation, although both suffer from minor errors. --Ed Killham

Customer Reviews:

Delighful Hvorostovsy.......2007-03-31

I heard the CD Kalinka. I've never stopped admiring this wonderful Russian bsritone. I went to his concerto here in Mexico, several months ago. I was in Heaven

The songs are chosen with care and love, and it reminds me always of my so wonderful stay in Russia (3 years). This really is from "Russia with love". The thrilling voice of Hvorostovsky gives me the chills and makes me dream. Thanks for a wonderful and delightful record.

This Cd is not the "academic" version of the Red Army, pleasant as well. This is fresh, bucolic and belongs to the people that are in the enourmous fields of corn in Russia and Ukraine. It is naive, with the beauty of naivite.

Hvorostovky is versatile and in the songs que needs to be sweet, plassionate or melancholic he achieves it masterly!!!!!

Eugenia LizaldeBest of the Red Army Choir

The Power of Voice, The Music for the Soul .......2005-05-09

Listening to these eighteen Russian folk songs, artistically arranged and vocalized, one feels that the musical border between folksong and opera has somehow been melted away, and what are heard are the best aspects of both. There is something very special in Russian folk music. Dmitri Hvorostovsky and St Petersburg Chamber Choir have grasped the spirit of it with their heartbreaking vocal force. Whether it is the melancholy melodies; the somber harmonies; or the primordial elements, they pierce directly through your heart and get to your soul... Simply wonderful!

a cup half full, but still splendid.......2004-05-22

With his rich and powerful dark honey voice, Dmitri Hvorostovsky is one of the greatest operatic baritones alive, and as an interpreter of Russian music, no singer can top him; his exquisite renditions of folk melodies, as well as the rapturous songs of Tchaikovsky and Rachmaninoff on his other recordings are sublime.
Here he is backed not by an orchestra, but by St. Petersburg Chamber Choir, and together they present a superb collection of traditional melodies.

Unfortunately for those of us who are big Dmitri fans, he only sings on 10 of the 18 tracks, and though the chorus is excellent, his magnificent voice would have made these songs even better; the "chorus only" tracks are 4-5, 8-10, 14, and 16-17.
The popular title track, "Kalinka", has probably been included in practically every film with a Russian theme I have ever seen and is instantly recognizable, and some of the others are rare gems, but all of them will be enjoyed by anyone who appreciates Russian music.

My absolute favorite is the final "Vihaztu adin ya na darogu" ("I set off alone down the road"), which with its beautiful melody and soulful singing is glorious. Dmitri recorded this song for his first CD of folk songs in 1991, with the Ossipov Russian Folk Orchestra, with balalaikas instead of a chorus to back him; both versions are wonderful, but with this one having the edge, as I think he sings it on this recording with more emotion.
Total running time is 56'41.

Here is proof that Russian vintage only gets better with age.......1999-06-06

Dmitri Hvorostovsky has outdone himself, which means his admirers are in for a treat. Maturity only adds depth to his interpretations of Russian folk songs, now on a larger scale than on the earlier CD 'Dark Eyes'. His musicianship is such that he blends in perfectly with the superb St. Petersburg Chamber Choir whenever this is called for. Marvelous stuff here - highly recommended.

Excellent.......1999-05-14

Worth congratulating Philips that here (as in several more recent releases) "Russian Text" really means that, in cyrillic not transliteration. Timing 56'40.

Wonderful performance, great new music.......2002-08-01

Disclaimer...if you enjoy modern music, you'll really enjoy this recording. If you pull back at late Scriaben or Webern, don't even think about this recording.

Having said that, this is a spectacular disc of music that is well played and equally well recorded. While I listen to it on a boom box quality system at work, at home I've listened to this on some wonderful B&W speakers -- and the music just drifts in. This is not background music. It is introspective, mystical, dreamy -- challenging without being pretentious or annoying. I think part of what makes this music accessible are the lengths of the pieces. I found myself replaying several selections over and over -- enjoying them each time.

Very imaginative music and performances. For many folks, this disc will open doors to some great composers.

Kudos to Yukie Nagai and to BIS. Well done!!

Album Description

This is for sure a unique sound for a metal band. Fruit Tree manage to create their own style and this doesn't happen because of their music (which is something that we've heard many times before) but with the whole feeling and the atmosphere they include in their compositions. Their music style is heavy/death metal with aggressive male and female clean vocals. The difference in this band is the humor that unfolds from their songs something really nice in a genre that is full of angryand tough guys who believe that they'll make us scared with their attitude. Fruit Tree seem to enjoy what they do and this is a fine example for all to see that music will always be a pure way of expression and not a way to create a wild image like most of the metal bands try to do.
