	The Sunset Tree - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Sunset Tree is a 2005 album from John Darnielle's main project, The Mountain Goats.
		While We Shall All Be Healed focused on Darnielle's years as a teenager involved with other meth users, The Sunset Tree talks much about his childhood, and features domestic violence as a recurring theme.
		An alternate, limited edition vinyl, entitled Come, Come to the Sunset Tree was sold as a tour-only LP with 1000 copies.

	The Mountain Goats: The Sunset Tree [2005] Shaking Through.net: Music: Review
		John Darnielle’s last album, We Shall All Be Healed, was his most nakedly autobiographical, dealing with people the artist has known, and assorted unpleasant situations encountered before and around the period when making albums under The Mountain Goats moniker was more hobby than fulltime gig.
		Most of the abuse comes courtesy of a brutish stepfather who apparently was an equal-opportunity dispenser of verbal and emotional punishment (neither Darnielle’s mother nor his sister are spared).
		Sunset Tree opens with the table-setting “You or Your Memory,” a song about checking into a motel room and staring down one’s demons.

		The Sunset Tree, or more aptly the Noon Tree, revolves around a young man trying to outgrow, or outrun, his troubled early years.
		You can half listen to The Sunset Tree across the room and have no idea what riches are right in front of you.
		Musically, The Sunset Tree is tasteful, tuneful, even pretty, but the real draw here is what we used to call “the words”.

		The crown of a red sunset maple tree is rounded to oval in shape.
		In the fall, the foliage of red sunset maple trees turns a beautiful crimson orange, and is one of the most beautiful trees during this time.
		Red sunset maple trees are highly ornamental, especially during the flowering period and in the fall months, but have lovely color year round.

		The new leaves are curled and fl at the edges, many of the leaves are a very pale green and some are turning red.
		Look for misdirected roots that grow over the top of other large roots near the trunk of the tree or around the trunk itself, in whole or part, it doesn't matter.
		Keep in mind, though, that even a girdling root is supplying water, nutrients and minerals to the tree, so you have to be prudent in your root cutting.

		Close to the ocean, the Sunset neighborhood of San Francisco is tough on trees -- the soil is largely nutrient-poor sand, and there's lots of wind and fog.
		For trees nearest the ocean, New Zealand Christmas trees (Metrosideros excelsus) are a great choice -- although they do have a tendency to lift sidewalks after 10-15 years.

		Hi Alvin - stunning sunset, every shade of colour between red orange and blue is visible, and the naked tree is a great bonus.
		Awesome colours and the silhouette of the tree is both interesting and fills the less colourful upper part of the frame.
		The tree makes a nice foreground, but the colors are the ones stealing the show.

	Mountain Goats: The Sunset Tree Aversion.com Review
		The Sunset Tree continues Darnielle’s biographical bent that started on last year’s We Shall All Be Healed.
		Arranged around a young Darnielle’s struggle for independence against a venomous ogre of a stepfather, this album mixes heartache with hope and triumph with train-wrecks in a coming-of-age tale that could be the Wonder Years for generations of stepchildren.
		The Sunset Tree takes listeners through some dark places, but Darnielle remembers the small conquests, the glimpses of joy that somehow make it all more poignant.

		But two years ago, head gardener Rick LaFrentz decided to wrap the trees' trunks and branches with miniature white lights instead.
		Each tree requires twelve 150-bulb strands of lights (connected in four ropes of three strands each), plugged into four outlets near the trunk's base.
		He secures the end of each rope to the tree's bottom with a U-shaped staple, then wraps the tree from the bottom up, turning the cardboard slowly as he goes.

	DOA - The Mountain Goats - The Sunset Tree
		But the ghost of his stepfather is inescapable, and he haunts nearly every aspect of The Sunset Tree.
		There are times when The Sunset Tree can be nearly unbearable; the emotions and sentiments expressed are extremely intimate, and it can be extraordinarily uncomfortable to peer so deeply into the life of a performer who once shunned the idea that a song could act as an autobiographical vehicle.
		However, it is also profoundly stirring, and knowing that there are aspects of the narrative that are actually true only cause the songs to resonate more clearly within the listener.

	The Mountain Goats : The Sunset Tree - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect
		What sets him apart from other prolific artists in the indie rock world (Conor Oberst, Ryan Adams, Stephin Merritt) whose records and side projects can't keep up with the flow of their pens is his almost alarming gift for pairing quantity with quality.
		After dropping the devastating Tallahassee -- a record that followed in gory detail the imagined demise of a Florida couple's marriage -- in 2002, he turned his focus inward, taking an almost autobiographical stance on the follow-up, We Shall All Be Healed, a framework that is applied tenfold on the riveting The Sunset Tree.
		Despite The Sunset Tree's white-knuckle subject matter and salt-in-the-wound imagery, it's surprisingly accessible.

	moonty: The Mountain Goats - The Sunset Tree
		The Sunset Tree is the latest album recorded -- and soon, released -- by The Mountain Goats, the brainchild of musician John Darnielle.
		The Sunset Tree's precursor, Dilaudid EP, features several songs that make their full impact in this more complete collection of music, including the excellent "This Year," perhaps the most addicting song on the album, its simple piano and frantically -- yet fascinatingly rhythmically -- strummed acoustic guitar accenting the major style of the album.
		The Sunset Tree is, without a doubt, an intriguing, well-crafted album.

		John Darnielle is, for all intents and purposes, the voice and vision of the Mountain Goats, though he is joined here by a handful of musicians (including John Vanderslice and Erik Friedlander) who lend texture and colour to his strummed acoustic-guitar playing and plaintive singing.
		THE SUNSET TREE is one of Darnielle's most strikingly honest and emotionally affecting releases.
		Produced by indie underground icon John Vanderslice, The Sunset Tree is the Mountain Goats' most personal, most poppy at times, most beautiful and most affecting recording since their inception.

	THE MOUNTAIN GOATS, "The Sunset Tree" (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		"The Sunset Tree" is the Goats' third offering for 4AD, and this time, the group seems comfortable adding more elements to its sound, whereas in the past, it opted for as little as possible.
		But to say "The Sunset Tree" is depressing would be too easy.
		Here we are offered a window into the splices of one's memories; snippets into fragmented thoughts, in which the immediate forthrightness draws us in, even if we don't necessarily identify with the narratives.

		The only thing that distracts me is that flash of brightness about a third of the way down, center of the tree.
		Wonder how much of the orange sky is real, there seems to be almost a stripey pattern of darker oranges, but in a sense this adds to the effect.
		Plus the sun seems to be directly behind the tree yet near the top it is lighting the side of the branches.

	The Mountain Goats: The Sunset Tree: Pitchfork Record Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		But yet my first few listens to The Sunset Tree, the Mountain Goats' third 4AD full-length and follow-up to last year's We Shall All Be Healed, left me cold, even though Darnielle axes his fictions and explores his own personal life, specifically an abusive stepfather.
		Something I subconsciously learned when I was younger that I'm just now understanding is that the Mountain Goats' sound best after obsessively replaying each track until they become as familiar as your own personal memories.
		Accordingly, after a thousand and one listens, while I can still do without much of the second half of The Sunset Tree, on its first four songs Darnielle locates a stride, crafting a perfect four-part diorama.

	the mountain goats, the sunset tree
		Following on from last year's 'We Shall All Be Healed, 'The Sunset Trees' again delves deep into the bruise blemished heart of Darinelle psyche with songs so confessional in tone that, whilst undoubtedly cathartic, can make for very intimate listening.
		Like the sugar on the pill, the music is seemingly at odds with the lyrics as Darnielle rallies "I write down good reasons to freeze to death in my spiral-bound book" on 'Broom People' whilst in the background a rowdy pop-folk stomp breezily plays away.
		However rather than lessen the albums impact, it is this very collision of light and dark which gives 'The Sunset Tree' its distinctive bite and texture.

		Plus, with a steady job as a psychiatric nurse working with abused children, a website on which he used close-reading techniques to dissect gangster rap and hair metal, and a fairly nonchalant public persona, he stood outside the traditional rock and roll lifestyle.
		Both are autobiographical albums about his early life: We Shall All Be Healed recalls Darnielle’s time amongst a circle of meth users, and the 13 songs on The Sunset Tree describe Darnielle’s childhood, in particular the years of physical abuse he suffered at the hands of his stepfather.
		The Sunset Tree and We Shall All Be Healed were both produced by John Vanderslice, and fellow Mountain Goats on this record include cellist Erik Friedlander and bass player Peter Hughes.

	Blogcritics.org: All Hail The Mountain Goats: Reviewing The Sunset Tree
		It's a tough racket writing a review of The Mountain Goats latest masterpiece The Sunset Tree, mostly because, quite frankly, I respect head Goat John Darnielle too much to write a fat load of bogus assessment, to say nothing of any kind of speculation as to what he and his work are all about.
		Last year's saga of doomed tweakers, We Shall All Be Healed, and The Sunset Tree are his first full-on forays into the autobiographical.
		It's that sense of perspective that makes The Sunset Tree like a window into all the things that are strongest and most beautiful in the human heart, but without any false sense of it being bigger than life.

	Cokemachineglow.com - Mountain Goats: The Sunset Tree
		I don’t know if this is due to Peter Hughes or producer John Vanderslice, but in terms of sheer musical heft, this is easily the best record Darnielle has ever done (romanticists of lo-fi aestheticism, “the tape hiss is its own instrument” fetishists be damned).
		The Sunset Tree recounts the author’s child abuse at the “swollen and thick-veined hands” of his step-father.
		Like his past work, there is no real story arc, and it’s to Darnielle’s eternal credit that many of his narratives work with people stuck in a pivotal moment of transition (see the famous “Going to” series).

	Rolling Stone : The Sunset Tree : Review
		The Mountain Goats' John Darnielle was the archetypal Nineties indie-rock bard, but ever since 2002's Tallahassee, he's been on a sick creative roll, making one gem after another.
		Tallahassee was a viciously funny song cycle about a shaky marriage; last year's We Shall All Be Healed was a tour of substance abuse; and now The Sunset Tree digs into childhood trauma with all the acoustic verve and wit you expect from this guy.
		The story is sad stuff: growing up in Seventies suburbia, stuck in a house full of abuse and despair, turning up the radio to drown out your stepfather's tantrums downstairs.

	Beggars Group, USA
		John Darnielle - long recognised by his fans as one of the most imaginative and downright thrilling lyricists of his generation - suddenly found the rest of the world starting to think the same way.
		If The Sunset Tree (which chronicled the fraught, violent relationship between Darnielle and his stepfather) derived its power and energy from an unblinking exorcism of personal demons, Get Lonely is perhaps the quiet, haunted aftermath.
		It’s a reflective, intimate record; the mood is one of bittersweet resignation rather than cathartic release.
