Dr Robert and Matt Deighton come together on The Instant Garden. Every so often an album appears that surprises and delights and somehow defies categorization. Such is The Instant
Garden. Dr Robert (The Blow Monkeys) and Matt Deighton (Mother Earth, Oasis) have conjured
up a garden full of earthly delights and mysterious depths. It’s really unlike anything else. A sonic
assortment of open tuned acoustics and ferocious electrics with psychedelic melodies and bells
and bass.
Says Robert: “Matt and I bonded over a mutual love of the same atmospheric jewels…. Fred Neil,
Davy Graham, Tyrannosaurus Rex, Nick Drake etc. Matt is an astonishing player too. A proper
picker of the highest order. We sat opposite each other and recorded it live at my old friend ‘The
Ravens” studio up in Angelsey. We disappeared inside the flow and came out 4 days later with an
album. Can’t wait to play it live!”
Says Matt: “We both found we had many musical influences and references in common from
‘Beard Of Stars’ to ‘Oar’ and ’Space Hymns’ even, so it was inevitable we’d end up playing these
songs sitting facing each other mid summer on a leyline mic’d up live in the back of beyond.
Couldn’t have been easier… File under ‘Horticounterculture’…"
