Ash Tree

Ash Tree is the musical project of novelist Henry Baum. From the Ash Tree MySpace page: "I play everything myself. The songs were recorded on a digital 8-track in my living room".

Indeed. It's not a surprise then to find out that that is precisely what this music sounds like. It's in line with stuff by Lou Barlow or Daniel Johnston...and some of it even reminds me of demo tracks from that Nirvana box set (probably just the singing).

You're not going to be lining up to catch Ash Tree at some crazy over-hyped show at Mercury Lounge in the immediate future but then that's not what this is about. This is just good, honest music.

Listen:
"Down the Rabbit Hole"
"Succeed or Fold"
