[video] Taken By Trees :: “My Boys”

I’ve been spending most of the evening catching up on a few recently released albums, including the latest from Taken By Trees — the solo project of former Concretes lead singer Victoria Bergsman.

Despite clocking in at a mere 32 minutes, East Of Eden is a nice mesh of acoustic indie-pop, with a unique use of beats and rhythms which is the result of recording entirely in Pakistan with local Sufi musicians.

One of the more sweeter tracks to appear on the record is this inspired cover of Animal Collective’s “My Girls”.  Of course, Victoria is no stranger to covers as you might remember her excellent cover of “Sweet Child O’ Mine” from 2008.

I’ve read a lot of backlash in regards to this recent cover, which is just silly to me.  In my opinion, this cover is just too innocent to harbor any negative feelings towards.  Though, I suppose the Animal Collective connection isn’t too out of left field as Noah Lennox lends his vocals on one of the tracks.

The video for “My Boys” can be seen below.
