MP3 autumn - the hating tree

ROCK: Goth, ELECTRONIC: Industrial
Details:
Autumn''s debut release, The Hating Tree, produced by William Faith, was a welcome surprise. Swirling, brooding guitars, reminiscent of The Cure''s Disintegration, passionate and contemplative lyrics, and the intense vocals of Julie Plante.
The lead track, "How It Came to Be This Way," opens ''When candles and incense are not enough / to dispel the death I die every day,'' and you''re immediately thrown into Julie''s biographic battle with the demons in her life, to which she responds, ''I shall kill them one by one / and feed their corpses to the sun.'' The tone is set for the entire album. Her lyrics are contemplative examinations of loss, questioning memories, actions, and the results she sees and feels. In "Resurrection" she breathes that ''A memory of our sex has stained me / and to taste myself upon your willing lips would release me.''
"How It Came to Be This Way" is the show-stealer of the album, the anger of the lyrics matched by the pitiless climax. From there, the rest of the album slows down into a more subdued introspection, ending with the melodic 11-minute title track. Neil McKay''s guitars here become the outpouring of the emotion, slowly guiding you along this song of betrayal, gently leaving you to yourself again with a couple minutes'' worth of haunting solo keys.

The CDs available here are of extremely limited quantity.
They were pressed in 1998 in Germany and distributed to a friend of the band who lived in New Orleans, and then forgotten about over the years.
Just weeks before hurricane Katrina struck, these CDs were discovered and saved from being lost forever. Strange but true!
