<p><a href="http://www.takenbytrees.com/">Taken  By Trees</a> has a new album out which mixes Pakistani Qwaali music with Swedish pop sensibilities, an unlikely but mostly successful combination. <strong>East of Eden</strong> is the follow-up to 2007&#8242;s <strong>Open Field</strong> from Taken By Trees, a project of Victoria Bergsman, ex-frontwoman of <a href="http://www.theconcretes.com/">The Concretes</a>, and includes the fantastic, mood-setting <strong>To Lose Someone</strong>. Recorded in Pakistan with Sufi musicians, itself the subject of a <a href="http://worldmusic.nationalgeographic.com/view/page.basic/article/content.article/taken_by_trees/en">National Geographic documentary</a>, East of Eden is an intriguing album. Watch the Waves, on the band&#8217;s <a href="http://www.takenbytrees.com/music/">website</a> is also worth a listen although a little more poppy (pop-y?) than To Lose Someone.There&#8217;s not much of a video to watch here, but the song is worth it.</p>
