Green Gardens + Vona Vella at Bootleg Social, Blackpool

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.
While 2023’s ‘This is Not Your Fault’ relishes the simplicity of live capture, Green Gardens now replace sparseness with a new found scope. Written in private with limited resources, then realised as a collective, the band transform their honest, warm songwriting into something carnal and tactile. Through a series of evolving masses and dynamics, the songs act as anchors amongst waves of colour and static. These range from dark cavernous tombs to light and ethereal found-sound spaces.
Reflecting on loss and relishing the euphoria of passing joys, the four-piece explore a hushed sanctuary inspired by Sparklehorse, and the crushed lo-fi guitars of the genre’s giants The Microphones and Broken Social Scene.
