------
"Ferrill Gibbs’ new album, "Significant Trees", is “The most interesting album to emerge from Mobile in a very long time.”

Amassed and performed by engineers, producers, and players who’ve graced the music of artists such as of Montreal, REM, Brantley Gilbert, Jennifer Nettles, Sonic Youth, The Allman Brothers Band and Government Mule just to name a few, in the end, the sum became equal to the parts. The players would agree when it was over: they’d made “magic.”

Ferrill Gibbs had a renaissance of songwriting following the completion of his first solo album in 2010, in which songs popped from him one by one in near-complete fashion. Three years later, he would handpick the band to record the 12 songs at Studio 1093 in Athens, GA.

Significant Trees soars to heights and plunges to lows as it interweaves between the topics of sickness, joy, spirituality, loss, and hope, and is carried to grave extremes – although delicately - by the preeminent jazz and fusion of Athens, GA’s heralded Kenosha Kid.  

The album begins lamblike with The Happy Ones: the hypnotic roll of a kick and a brush sweeping against a snare and from there begins a song that sets the stage, bringing images so cinematic and visual that it seems like it was made for a movie. 

Before the song fades, in comes the expert fiddling of Andy Carlson, arranger of strings for REM’s "New Adventures in Hi Fi", and this is representative of the entire album really: each song is surprising and building and climaxing, each trying to outdo the next. So when you hear the cacophonous but controlled second track, “Roses,” and the blistering third, “Blitzkrieg,” you know that this album is not at all what it first appeared; that each song rises psychedelically and cinematically to the last effect-laden reverberation of the final track, “Overlooking A Horse.” At which point, you’ve come to understand its ambition.

Significant Trees is available at www.ferrillgibbs.com on hardcopy and will be available on iTunes and Amazon on August 12th.
