| The Garden - Surprise |
Release Date: 8th December 2014
The Garden are the kind of duo
that seem to get everyone exited in 'the biz' but, being a lover of the
underdog, that always makes me suspicious of whether or not they as good as all
the hype. The only way to find out is to actually listen, I suppose, but I'm
sceptical. 'Surprise' is a bass and drums garage romp through the suburbs at
night with some reverb and the kind of vocal effects that were huge in the 80s
but haven't seen the light of day since then. The energy is infectious, that's
undeniable, and the fact that the track in its entirety lasts just 95 seconds
is something to be applauded in a time when bands think a 6 minute single is a
good idea. I might reserve judgement until I've heard some more though as on
the evidence of this these guys could be the best of a bad bunch or cream of
the crop - it's hard to tell.
