Well into his fourth decade as a professional musician, David J Haskins refers to The Mother Tree as, \"my most personal work yet.” With such an expansive catalog, including the works discographies of Bauhaus and Love & Rockets, it's quite a claim. It is, however, a difficult one to refute, given its subject matter. A tribute to his late mother, the five-track album is centered on Haskins' poetry, set to a musical backdrop. Fittingly, it finds Haskins adding his surname, after a career of simply being \"David J.\"
