Dave Heumann has played with The Anomoanon, Bonnie 'Prince' Billy, Cass McCombs and Papa M. Arbouretum is the first band for which he is the primary songwriter, guitarist and singer. Heumann's idea for the band was one whose songs would evoke natural forms and movements as opposed to architectural constructions with rigid forms and linear progressions. The band's debut album, Long Live The Well-Doer, a decidedly solo affair, was released in 2004 on Thrill Jockey Records. Seven years on and The Gathering, Arbouretum's fourth album, was to a large extent inspired by The Red Book by Carl Jung.
