The Garden - Kiss My Super Bowl Ring - VINYL LP

Once again leaving genre boundaries in the dust, The Garden twins returned with 'Mirror Might Steal Your Charm,' via Epitaph Records. Taking the audience away into a still unfathomed sound world and bringing back some of the scuzzier elements of their earlier work, the duo's more guitar focused third album is another sublime slice of post-modern pop. Welcome back to a land that's familiar, slightly out of sync, and a little bit unnerving. Wyatt and Fletcher Shears have been conceptualising their own style since well before the formation of the band in 2011. Described as auditory invaders of the new world; borderless, informed and decentralised, the duo represent a youthful punk scene in California with their DIY principles, thrift store-cum-glam fashion style and a vast list of influences. While 2013's 'Life And Times Of A Paperclip' offered a glimpse into their breakbeat-propelled world of electro-punk anarchy, it was their innovative Epitaph debut 'Haha' (2015) that proved them to be much more than style over substance, sadistically teasing all essences of musical genres into 17 wonderfully chaotic tracks. 'Mirror Might Steal Your Charm' was self-produced and recorded in a lock-out studio in one short burst. InchI think it's healthy as an artist to switch up your environment once in a while. The production is tight as a whistle, but also more rawInch offers Wyatt. InchThe process made for a more focused and personal sounding record, with a healthy dose of guitar throughout. Things are a little more refined. If we aren't implementing past experience into new situations then we aren't learning. Progress is very appealing to us,Inch adds Fletcher.

Vinyl LP pressing. Auras new album explores the complex relationship between humankind and technology, as people evolve from symbiotic parts of mother nature into cybernetic bits of code. The intellectual depth of the subject matter on Binary Garden is juxtaposed by it's immediate accessibility. The expansion of Auras into bigger melodic hooks is more suited to the digital single oriented era than ever, even as Binary Garden works as a cohesive whole. Auras hail from a country that's produced a high volume of heavy music innovation. It's the nation that blessed the world with the legendary Rush, prog-metal pioneers Voivod, metalcore madmen Protest The Hero, and death metal stalwarts Cryptopsy. A newer entry to this lineage, Auras operate in a musical landscape instantly familiar to devotees of Meshuggah, Periphery, The Contortionist, and Tool. But their specific take on the genre combines the bite of thrash, the weight of death metal, and the spirit of hardcore with a hypnotic groove-oriented pulse shrouded in a captivating atmosphere. Album Tracks 1. Momenta 2. Pseudo Intellect 3. Erode 4. Another Place 5. Whiteout 1. Demoness 2. Disenchant 3. The Last Canary 4. Essence 5. Abyss

Vinyl LP pressing, includes digital download. The Garden is a constantly evolving, conceptual punk band based in Orange County, California. Established in 2011 by twin brothers Wyatt and Fletcher Shears, they defy genre and categorization, so much so, that they created their own term Vada-Vada* to define their sound and escape being pigeonholed. Vada-Vada an idea that represents pure creative expression, that disregards all previously made genres and ideals. The Garden's shows are experiential and powerful, representing a youthful scene. Arresting a sense of urgency, they throw you heavily into their parallel world of Vada-Vada. The duo seduce their audience onto a carnival ride of sound and movement that stops as abruptly as it starts; it's just a close approximation of The Garden experience. Album Tracks 1. Clay 2. Make Yer Mark 3. Have a Good Day Sir 4. All Access 5. U Want the Scoop?
