“All this will be back again, growing Fastest from the dogs graves’ Leeds’ Green Gardens form intricate indie-rock songs that value tenderness and extremity in equal measure. Real love and care for sweet melodies, lo-fi guitars, warm drums and the tension of their relationships sits at the heart of their music. Reflecting on loss and relishing the euphoria of passing joys, they explore a hushed sanctuary inspired by Sparklehorse, and the crushed lo-fi guitars of the genre’s giants The Microphones and Broken Social Scene. While 2023’s ‘This is Not Your Fault’ relishes the simplicity of live capture, Green Gardens now replace sparseness with a new found scope in their new album ‘Thistlesifting’, out September 5th on Tiny Library Records. Written in private with limited resources, then realised as a collective, the band transform their honest, warm songwriting into something carnal and tactile. Plugged straight in with no room to breathe. Through a series of evolving masses and dynamics, the songs act as anchors amongst waves of colour and static. Watch video for Ghost of a Tree, from the upcoming record, here on This Is Not Your Fault “Green Gardens, from a personal nadir, have made a triumphant artistic high” - Clash “Green Gardens have delivered a spectacular debut which feels wholly their own” - Far Out “For all their clear musical prowess, Green Gardens seem to remember that music is above all about connection and emotion, about using that talent to make you feel something, and as for their debut album, well, I for one am feeling very good about that” - For The Rabbits “A unique and impressive debut” - Gigwise
