Digging this GARDEN CD we are. 'Round & Round' is Static
Caravan's
latest future pop masterpiece & just get those hooks. It all
reminds me a lot of undervalued Manc geniuses Simian, probably cause Garden's
mainman Simon Lord also fronted those psychedelic popsters through their
baffling years of chart outsiderdom. This album is definitely gonna be the
benchmark for the next wave of progressive modern folk. Not only does it work on
many levels (from casual listener to psych pop obsessive) but the 12 tunes
crafted here are wonderfully produced gems influenced by classic folk singer
songwriter, yr palatable end of prog & that very same forward thinking
tripped out pop that Simian blended so quaintly. This is the best thing on the
label since Tunng's debut & was a very close contender for album of the
week!

What their label says...
Simon Lord, once the front man of twisted pop quartet Simian, is now the creative force behind a new psychedelic folk project: Garden. He also has many production credits to his name including Findlay Brown and Barbarosa.
