  SCREAMING TREES
Screaming Trees reconvened to record their Epic debut, Uncle Anesthesia, with Chris Cornell of Soundgarden and Terry Date as producers.
The resulting album, Dust, was released in the summer of 1996, nearly four years after its predecessor.
Following the Dust tour, Screaming Trees took another hiatus, with Lanegan beginning work on his third solo album, Scraps at Midnight, which was released in 1998.

 Screaming Trees: Ocean of Confusion: Songs of Screaming Trees 1989-1996 - PopMatters Music Review
It's too bad that Screaming Trees don't retain a spot at the top of that list, as they made some of the best music of that era not to be heard on the same scale of that of their peers.
Screaming Trees were consigned to some kind of near-invisible swing shift duty, subsisting on scrap-fed little brother roles: an inclusion on the Singles soundtrack ("Nearly Lost You", the closest thing the band had to a hit); an opening slot on the goddamned Spin Doctors' tour, for Chrissakes.
In essence, Screaming Trees were a sonic representation of the earth-toned, raggedy, plaid-favored dress code that their beloved Pacific NW represented at the time.

After four years, they returned with Dust [+], their second major label album, and by that point, the band's sound was too idiosyncratic for alternative radio.
The influence of Mark Lanegan's haunting solo albums is apparent in both the sound and emotional tone of the record, but this is hardly a solo project -- the rest of the band has added a gritty weight to Lanegan's spare prose.
The Screaming Trees [+] sound tighter than they ever have and their melodies and hooks are stronger, more memorable, making Dust [+] their most consistently impressive record.

 Screaming Trees - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Screaming Trees were a musical group considered part of the grunge music movement of the late 1980s and early 1990s.
Founded in Ellensburg, Washington in 1985, their sound was a mixture of arty '60s psychedelia and west-coast punk rock.
Lanegan released "Bubblegum," his latest solo album in August of 2004, and is working with former The Afghan Whigs leader Greg Dulli in a new project named The Gutter Twins.

But Dust also represents a hard-won creative victory for the entire band, who by the admission of the group's founding triumvirate (Lanegan and brothers Van and Gary Lee Conner) haven't always lived up to their potential.
Trees discs from that era -- Invisible Lantern and Buzz Factory (both SST) -- may have shared a fondness for acid-fueled psychedelia with yet another SST act, Hüsker Dü, but they rarely indulged in the pummeling tempos of hardcore punk.
These days the Trees are more apt to quote from a classic-rock chestnut like the Small Faces' "Song of a Baker" (which they covered on the B-side of a 1992 single after openly borrowing riffs from the song for years) than from anything in the punk canon.

 the i - Screaming Trees "Dust" CD review   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
Dust is the most remarkable of rock albums; one that embraces the rich heartland of the past while true to the mid-'90s growing return to the song as an artform.
Dust is a stunning achievement, all the more so because the Trees ditched a half-finished album, walked away, decided to make an record that would last the test of time, came back and did so.
Dust is a modern rock masterpiece and breathes a new life into an ailing artform.

One experience the Trees haven't encountered in the last decade is a tour on the scale of Lollapalooza.

Where most of their Washington peers (not Seattle--Screaming Trees was a product of Ellensburg) were influenced more by the heavier sounds of Black Sabbath, Screaming Trees found their roots in 60's psychodelia.
Screaming Trees were dominated by brothers Van Conner (bass) and Gary Lee Connor (guitar).
By the time they were signed to Epic for their final three albums, the Trees had developed a strong sonic identity all their own.

 Dust by Screaming Trees (lyrics & reviews)
The thing about the 'Trees is that for years it was anticipated they'd deliver a brilliant album and for years it wasn't happening.
Dust is a complex, layered effort that transcends the grunge tag so often hung on the band by emphasizing deep roots in psychedelia and folk-rock that have been obscured in the past by the fuzz and fury.
Dust could be considered the combination of MTV Unplugged in New York and From the Muddy Banks of the Wishkah that Nirvana was never able to realize--it's a mature, melodic album that doesn't sacrifice the energy of youthful rock & roll abandon.

 Lanegan receives high marks
Lanegan's odyssey from the brink of fame to the dark halls of the half-remembered and forgotten is as sad and ironic as his return is invigorating.
The album was a brilliant chronicle of a man being drawn out of the garden and into the abyss, and the songs are torments of strange delight.
The album's press release states, "This album is a tribute to the artists and the art of the song." It is a lot more than that.

 TrouserPress.com :: Screaming Trees
A melodic mixture of psychedelia and '60s garage-rock has made the Screaming Trees, spawned in remote Ellensburg, Washington, one of the most influential, atypical and under-rated bands to spring from the Northwest.
Unlike most of their peers, the Trees improved steadily with each album, moving in a remarkably linear and consistent curve toward the almost classic-rock grace of Sweet Oblivion and the awesomely ambitious Dust.
Screaming Trees' fortunes rose as "Nearly Lost You" dwarfed almost every other song on the Singles soundtrack, parting the waters for Sweet Oblivion.

Clearly riding the crest of the Seattle wave, the Trees were poised for stardom.
But a four-year delay before the next album (during which they recorded and scrapped another album) hurt their stock, and by the time the superior Dust was released last summer, the Seattle buzz was over.
All of which is meaningless beside the triumph that is Dust: from the eastern-tinged opener "Halo of Ashes" to the apocalyptic closer "Gospel Plow", Dust found the foursome in peak form.

 VH1.com : Screaming Trees : Screaming Trees' Barrett Martin
While the Trees had been together since 1985 and were one of the first Seattle bands to sign with a major label, they never achieved the popularity of bands such as Nirvana and Pearl Jam.
Screaming Trees' 1992 album, Sweet Oblivion, was more accessible and successful than previous Screaming Trees albums but still failed to achieve gold status, despite the band's year-long tour to support it.
When Screaming Trees then took another break in 1997, Martin joined Tuatara -- the side band of R.E.M. guitarist Peter Buck -- which released the debut album, Breaking the Ethers (the group's sophomore album, Trading With The Enemy, is scheduled for release in May).

A hard-drinking rock band from the rural community of Ellensburg, near Seattle, USA, the Screaming Trees blended 60s music (the Beach Boys being an obvious reference point) with psychotic, pure punk rage.
By the time Screaming Trees moved to Epic Records they had embraced what one Melody Maker journalist called "unashamed 70s Yankee rock", straddled by bursts of punk spite.
Lanegan subsequently concentrated on his increasingly successful and acclaimed solo career, and the Screaming Trees officially disbanded in 2000.

By fusing this tension with a love of 60's garage rock, the Screaming Trees managed to produce some of the most consistantly exciting music of the many Seattle bands during (and years before) the grunge movement.
One only has to hear the Screaming Trees finale two albums (Sweet Oblivion and Dust) to know that this is one of the finest groups ever to record.
Although not as astounding as their more mature works, Invisible Lantern is a great album, that documents the early days of one of America's greatest underrated rock and roll bands.

While Screaming Trees never received the recognition that it deserved, it also never managed to parlay completely its potential into a perfect album.
Although the set does an adequate job of capturing Screaming Trees’ essence, it unfortunately also places too much emphasis upon the ensemble’s popular breakthrough Sweet Oblivion as well as the somewhat better but nonetheless overrated Dust.
On Screaming Trees’ sophomore outing Sweet Oblivion, for example, the band attempted to reach a more mainstream audience by streamlining its sonic reverberations, and it lost part of its edge in the process.

 The Music Box: Screaming Trees - Dust (Album Review)
Screaming Trees has always been best when it has merged its hard-rocking, grunge sound with its '60s influences.
On its last outing Sweet Oblivion, the band veered into more straightforward rock, but on Dust, the group returns to form, at least in part, with a barrage of swirling psychedelic sounds that include sitar, congas, and timbales.
At times, he slides his voice from one note to the next, blurring words and phrases with passionate conviction, even as the band fades into the background with a plodding rhythm.

Screaming Trees: Mark Lanegan (vocals, guitar); Gary Lee Conner (acoustic & electric guitars, sitar, background vocals); Van Conner (guitar, bass, background vocals); Barrett Martin (cello, harmonium, drums, percussion, congas, tablas, djembe).
Although the Seattle band's '80s albums on SST Records had obvious roots in folk-rock and psychedelia, those influences were obscured in the metallic roar of the group's two previous major-label albums.
DUST is the most stripped-down of Screaming Trees' albums, with Gary Lee Connors' electric guitars mixed lower than before, giving more room to Lanegan's whiskey-cured voice.
