Editorial review
Plumtree did a lot of growing up between this album and their next, This Day Won't Last at All, making the tracks here sound very childish and basic in comparison. Not that it should be sent straight to the garbage heap, though; if anything, it is interesting to see how far they went musically and lyrically in just a matter of years. The guitar chords and drum work are very basic here, but sometimes break the pattern of the CD and become rather clever, as on the short interlude on "Racing Gloves." "I Love U When You're Walkin' Away" is a refreshing change from the fast-paced and rushed sound of the rest of the album, and that two minutes and 30 seconds is truly a highlight, as is the following track, "Fatherhood." The closer, "Your Mouth Shoots Off," is also worth checking out, and it may be the most witty and fantastic song on the whole album. At one moment passive and sweet, the next the complete opposite, the stop-start sound here would be perfected on their later release. So, if you are looking to pick up something from this now-defunct act, This Day Won't Last at All is certainly recommended over this. But if you like what you hear there, by all means pick this up and give it a try. ~ Jennifer Jones, All Music Guide
Bio / Background
PLUMTREE was a quartet from Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada. Formed in 1993 when the sisters Gillis met up with Amanda Braden, Plumtree quickly established themselves as one of the more original young bands in Canada. With the addition of Catriona Sturton on bass, the band quickly developed a highly collaborative songwriting method which combined catchy melodies, a serious approach to writing music and solid instrumentation to produce the group's finest material to date.
Attracting attention when they were still in their mid-teens, PLumtree appeared on several compilation cds, released several 7" records, the FLUTTER BOARD ep, the MASS TEEN FAINTING cd, PLUMTREE PREDICTS THE FUTURE, their most recent THIS DAY WON'T LAST AT ALL (on Endearing) and 4 videos. All the group's releases received excellent press and campus radio with PREDICTS THE FUTURE holding the NUMBER 1 spot on Canadian Campus Radio for 4 weeks.
↓ more ↓Recorded by Lawrence Currie (SLOAN, JALE), PTF featured solid rhythms under scoring bittersweet vocals and lyrics which focused on the light-hearted side of the human condition. The album earned the band a nomination for the East Coast Music Awards while the band's music and continuous hard work saw them honoured with a Youth Achievement Award from Canada's nationally broadcast Youth Television cable network (YTV).
