Garlands - The Garlands [LP]

Limited vinyl LP pressing. Formed in 2007 as a bedroom project and thrust to the stage in 2010, the Garlands present an entire album with band, main-man Roger Gunnarsson taking on a more Brian Wilson-esque role. The result is pure, breathtaking indie pop perfection from beginning to end! Jangly guitar hooks, head bobbing rhythms, lovely vocal harmonies - it is all here! a melting pot of late 80s UK female-fronted guitar pop, celebrating their influences without ever sounding trivial or unoriginal. They are truly masters of the 2 minute pop song, with only one track ever going past the 3 minute mark.
