Green Gardens - This Is Not Your Fault (2023)

Leeds art-rock outfit Green Gardens will share their debut album ‘This Is Not Your Fault’ due August 18th via Come Play With Me Records / EMI North.

Green Gardens are four friends who strive to bring inaccessible feelings into a shared band setting. Drawing from the deep wells of art rock and guitar music before them, they owe everything to the earth and their surroundings. Their gentle, ponderous energy invites listeners right into the recording process with a wide-open roomy sound contrasted with thick, heavy emotion.

Sitting at the heart of Leeds’ thriving music community, the four members of Green Gardens can be found playing with Far Caspian, Sunflower Thieves, Crake, Carpet, Honey Guide, Niall Summerton and more as well as at their day jobs running shows at Leeds’ iconic Oporto venue, hosting Sofar showcases or pulling pints at the Brudenell Social Club - Green Gardens have come to embody the spirit of collaboration, creativity and sharing that Leeds DIY is famous for.

In this record, they’ve dug deep within themselves to create a stunning account of blame & guilt through stories and fables - the record flows carefully and guides you on a journey through the stages of loss and ultimately, to resolution.

Green Gardens' debut album is the result of years of collaboration together and was made with trusted friends and producers Jamie Lockhart (The Cribs, Mush) & Rob Slater (Yard Act, Crake) at Leeds’ prolific Greenmount Studios.
