GARDENS

“I had things that I wanted to do today, important stuff that I needed to be alert for. And now, look at me. Sinking ever further into this beanbag accompanied by the voice of a Viennese dream-pop singer.”
Ben Forrest’s housemate, Far Out Magazine, 2024

The Viennese band makes music that feels warm, direct, and a little rough around the edges ─ bright guitars, soft synths, and melodies that stick without trying too hard. Their sound drifts between indie pop, dreamy folk, and gentle garage energy, grounded in honest, quietly catchy songwriting. On their 2024 debut album Flaws, released by the Austrian label Siluh Records, the quartet leans into this blend even further: tender, fuzzy, playful songs about growing up, messing up, and finding your way through it all.
