The Story
Once again leaving genre boundaries in the dust, The Garden twins return with âMirror Might Steal Your Charm,â out now 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 duoâs more guitar focused third album is another sublime slice of post-modern pop. Welcome back to a land thatâs 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 2013âs âLife And Times Of A Paperclip' offered a glimpse into their breakbeat-propelled world of electro-punk anarchy, it was their innovative Epitaph debut âHahaâ (2015) that proved them to be much more than style over substance, sadistically teasing all essences of musical genres into 17 wonderfully chaotic tracks.
