Gardens are the latest in the long line of garage bands to come swaggering out of Detroit – and they don’t let the side down.
Maze Time is the advance track from their forthcoming self-titled debut album and it is a cracker. While in some ways it feels like it could easily have been plucked from the halcyon days of 60s psychedelia with its bluesy feel and swirling chorus lines, there are also traces of early 70s punk attitude and even a soupçon of Motown style sweetness as well. Put those ingredients all together with wit and imagination as the band most certainly have done and the final result gives the song enough identity to stand-up and snarl all on its own.
Gardens are an unexpected treat and we are looking forward to the album which will be in-stores from the 10th May via Alive Records on CD, limited edition green vinyl with digital download and, of course, digital formats.
