The Garden Announce European Live Dates for this Autumn (inc. London & Manchester)

THE GARDEN ANNOUNCE 10 DATE EUROPEAN LIVE RUN, INCLUDING STOPS IN LONDON & MANCHESTER

HAVING RELEASED ‘MIRROR MIGHT STEAL YOUR CHARM’ VIA EPITAPH IN MARCH, THE CALIFORNIAN NEO-PUNK TWINS RETURN TO OUR SHORES THIS AUTUMN

‘Mirror Might Steal Your Charm’ – Listen here

Once again leaving genre boundaries in the dust, The Garden twins returned with ‘Mirror Might Steal Your Charm’ back in March. Taking the audience away into a still unfathomed sound world and bringing back some of the scuzzier elements of their earlier work, the duo’s more guitar focused third album was another sublime slice of post-modern pop, familiar, slightly out of sync, and a little bit unnerving.

Wyatt and Fletcher Shears (24) have been conceptualising their own style since well before the formation of the band in 2011. Described as auditory invaders of the new world; borderless, informed and decentralised, the duo represent a youthful punk scene in California with their DIY principles, thrift store-cum-glam fashion style and a vast list of influences. While 2013’s ‘Life And Times Of A Paperclip’ offered a glimpse into their breakbeat-propelled world of electro-punk anarchy, it was their innovative Epitaph debut ‘Haha’ (2015) that proved them to be much more than style over substance, sadistically teasing all essences of musical genres into 17 wonderfully chaotic tracks.

The Garden strip off everything unnecessary about modern punk and get straight to the heart of it, consistently defying categorisation and breaking new ground with their own ‘Vada Vada’ philosophy, an idea that represents pure creative expression, disregarding all previously made genres and ideals. This is outsider music made from the inside, and when the multitude of sounds collide at pace, the results are spectacular. They play 10 shows across Europe this Autumn, starting at Plan B in Sweden on 21st October and ending with 2 nights at The Garage on 31st Oct/1st Nov. Full dates here.
