Löwenzahnhonig Playing That Ole’ Cherry Blossom Boogie
Two years after their hugely popular debut record comes “Kirschblütenboogie”, the second album from the Zurich “supergroup” Löwenzahnhonig (engl.: dandelion honey). It is released by A Tree in a Field/Inselgruppe. Consisting of Simon Borer aka Long Tall Jefferson, Fabian Sigmund aka Fai Baba and producer and multi-instrumentalist Paul Märki (Ex-Black Sea Dahu), the band is […]
Kety Fusco Joins la Bohème
Newly represented by A Tree in a Field Records, harpist extraordinaire Kety Fusco returns with her second full-length album, “Bohème”. It was created in Geneva in a collaboration with soundtrack composer Nicolas Rabaeus. Astonishingly, it contains a co-writing credit for Iggy Pop who voices his own written contribution on a track entitled “She”. First plucking […]
Love & Rage With Lilac Attitude
How could you not love a band that has a song called “Childish Brains” in their repertoire! And here it is, right at the end of Lilac Attitude’s debut EP “Love & Rage”. It’s out now on A Tree in a Field Records. Raucously, tenderly and nostalgically post-punky, every one of Lilac Attitude’s songs is […]
District Five Burn the Sugar
March 25 saw the release of Zurich quartet District Five’s long-awaited debut album, “Burnt Sugar”, by A Tree in a Field Records. Named after the part of Zurich where they all live, District Five present themselves more like a community event than a conventional band. Alongside this, their long-term project, the members of the group […]
Fai Baba Sings the Changes
4 March 2022 saw the release of guitarist/singer songwriter Fai Baba’s first album in six years. If the title, “Veränderet”, sounds odd, there’s a good reason. Fai Baba has switched from singing in English to his native tongue, Swiss German. “Veränderet” is released by A Tree In A Field Records. Anyone who witnessed Fai Baba’s […]
Acid Amazonians Conquering Space
The logo of A Tree in a Field Records on a record sleeve is a guarantee for inspired weirdness. “How to Take Up Space” does the tradition proud. Released on 18 June 2021, it is the debut album from Zurich-based experimental electronica trio Acid Amazonians. This is how they describe themselves on their Facebook page: […]

None of Them Drop Number 4
15 November saw the release of a new album by the Zurich-based electro duo None of Them. Entitled “IIII”, thus baffling everyone with a passing understanding of Roman numerals, it is available from the fine independent label A Tree in the Field to whom None of Them recently signed. Less anarchic, perhaps, than previous outings, […]
Futureman is here!
If the end is nigh, so is the new beginning. „Futureman“ to the rescue! „Futureman“ is the creation of Harvey Rushmore & the Octopus, a collection of humans, instruments, machines and images dedicated to the exploration of the weird and wonderful in us all. „Futureman“ was released on A Tree in a Field Records on 26 October, distributed […]
Asbest are Driven
“Driven” is the rather apt title of the debut album of Asbest, a trio from Basel consisting of Robyn Trachsel (guitar, tape, vocals), Judith Breitlinger (bass) and Jonas Häne (drums). Theirs is a dark and heavy brand of post-Black Mountain guitar rock with a hint of Public Image Limited thrown in. It flows slowly like […]
