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.
