Rough Trade Records is excited to release East Of Eden, the new album by Taken By Trees. The album is the result of an extraordinarily adventurous recording process in Pakistan with local musicians. The album also includes the short film "Taweel Safari - The Longest Journey" that was shot in Pakistan while recording. Production skills were handled in Sweden by Dan Lissvik (partner in the Swedish duo 'Studio") with guest vocals from Noah Lennox of Animal Collective on "Anna".

The new project from Victoria Bergsman (former vocalist for The Concretes). You may also recognize her from one of the most popular singles of last year - Peter, Bjorn and John's infectious "Young Folks". Her solo debut was aided and abetted by fellow Peter, Bjorn and John cohorts Bjorn Yttling on various instruments and string arrangements, and John Eriksson on all percussion, marimba, and vibraphone. Other contributors include Andreas Soderstrom on guitar and Verity Susman (Electrelane) who provided piano arrangements and backing vocals. "A ravishing song cycle that speaks of love, loss, and you might have guessed it, trees" - Sun.
