Our Take
HANGING GARDEN's latest offering, The Garden, is a psychedelic journey through a sonic oasis. The Finnish band combines ethereal vocals, haunting melodies, and intricate instrumentals to create a lush and immersive listening experience. From the moment the album kicks off with the dreamy opener "The Hierophant," it's clear that HANGING GARDEN is not afraid to push the boundaries of their sound.
Tracks like "Ennen" and "Rain" showcase the band's ability to blend heavy guitars with atmospheric synths, creating a dynamic and captivating sound that keeps the listener engaged from start to finish. The Garden is a prime example of HANGING GARDEN's unique blend of post-metal, gothic rock, and shoegaze influences, resulting in a truly original and intriguing album.
The standout track on the album has to be "I Am Become," a hauntingly beautiful ballad that showcases the band's emotional depth and lyrical prowess. Singer Toni Toivonen's vocals soar over a backdrop of swirling guitars and pulsating drums, creating a sense of melancholy and longing that is both captivating and moving.
Overall, The Garden is a mesmerising and hypnotic album that showcases HANGING GARDEN at the top of their game. With its lush production, intricate songwriting, and emotional depth, this is a must-listen for fans of atmospheric rock music. HANGING GARDEN have truly outdone themselves with this release, cementing their status as one of the most innovative and exciting bands in the genre.
