Zoe Keating is one of the most hauntingly beautiful musicians of my time, both phenotypically and artistically. Her music creates environments like a movie score to your life, setting moods as heavy as San Francisco fog but giving you a distant light to follow in the dark. Into The Trees is a masterpiece, a well anticipated follow up to Natoma. Her mutli-use of her cello is simply amazing, from stringwork to percussion, she creates entire songs with just herself, her cello and a pedal. If you get a chance to see her live you'll be left speachless at this slightly shy but very confident musician.
Into The Trees, if you listen closely, is telling a story. Much like a classical score to a ballet that might be covering Alice in Wonderland, the heroine runs into the trees, gets lost and can't find her way. She's guided along a path with twist and turns, inevitable darkness and when all seems almost lost, she soars above everything in the end, making the journey worth taking.
You will not be disappointed with this purchase.
