After last year’s debut album “Flaws”, via the independent Austrian label Siluh Records, Gardens, the Viennese Dream-Pop quartet, made of Luca Celine Müller (lead vocals, bass, guitar), Laura Keiblinger (backing vocals, guitar, synth), Patrick Stieger (drums, percussions), and Peter Mathis (backing vocals, guitar, bass, percussions), prepare for their debut UK shows at Brighton‘s The Great Escape Festival next week with a music video by Luca Celine & Nikolai Nordmann for their most heightened cut to date, the new single “Good This Way”, WL//WH is pleased to premiere.

A wistful, lush, catchy tune laced with a Baroque-tinged surreal flair, “Good This Way” spins a heady and kaleidoscopic merry-go-round led by emotional, atmospheric female vocals that reflect on lost love over dramatic glowing keyboard swathes, swollen buzzing bass tones and echoing layers of arpeggiated sparkling guitar melodies, to swell through trotting drum beats, droning textures and ecstatic swirling synth loops, to engulf the angsty longing with flickering intervals of whimsical nostalgia.
In the Official Music Video, by Luca Celine & Nikolai Nordmann, you will see Gardens sitting each by themself in an outdoor field at night under spotlights. At first, they look alone and vulnerable, but over time, the gang starts to loosen up and smile. After cathartic screams, they tumble backwards whilst laughing until the light fades out.
Gardens‘ new single, “Good This Way“, drops May 9, via Siluh Records. Check below for the forthcoming European Tour dates:
