Following on from two 7-inches in the last two years, Parsnip’s first full-length is playful, poetic, propulsive punk. An album perpetually in motion, \u003ci\u003eWhen the Tree Bears Fruit\u003c\/i\u003e is just over half an hour of absurd, understated energy. There’s an immediacy to the sheer joy, velocity and whimsy of Parsnip’s delivery. Bass player and most-of-the-time lyricist Paris Richens is the first to admit that she finds inspiration in children’s verse and the sonics of nursery rhymes – \u003ci\u003eSprouts\u003c\/i\u003e is an ode to plants in their first form, and \u003ci\u003eTrip the Light\u003c\/i\u003e is about the sheer joy of dancing. That said, Richens’ bandmates – drummer Carolyn Hawkins, guitarist Stella Rennex and keys player Rebecca Liston – are quick to remind her that nursery rhymes are almost always pretty twisted. No one is being baked into a pie in a Parsnip song, but they deal in themes of loneliness, longing, the unknown and the mundane, almost as much as they dream of travel and make a romantic spectacle of the everyday. Across the album, transport and movement recur as an image, mostly alluding to a dreamy sense of possibility: lead single \u003ci\u003eLift Off \u003c\/i\u003eis a plea for a quick flight away, \u003ci\u003eSeafarer\u003c\/i\u003e is a voyage against nature’s adversity, and \u003ci\u003eLighthouse Beacon\u003c\/i\u003e sees a hope in the distance. Ultimately, this is an album that invites its listener to join in its celebration: the record’s title, inspired by the ideas of guru and poet Sri Chinmoy, refers to the idea that a tree will grow fruit and it will be offered for anyone and everyone to share in. The band see this principle as it applies to their work – to sharing their joy and nonsense with the world, and hoping people will enjoy it. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Trouble In Mind","offers":[{"title":"LP","offer_id":50498340749643,"sku":"1069496","price":19.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"CD","offer_id":50498340913483,"sku":"1069495","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/9bccc218-1728-491f-a40b-23260176f527_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727745264","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/fr\/products\/when-the-tree-bears-fruit","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
