Green Gardens - This Is Not Your Fault (Deluxe) (2024) Hi Res

"This is Not Your Fault" is an album designed to carry you through the stages of guilt. As you make your way through the album you’ll encounter lyrical ‘blame milestones’, each one finger-pointing for human catastrophes. It looks at how that changes you, and where you're left afterwards. The album will chew on you and spit you out anew, forgiven for something you shouldn't ever be blamed for. It lives in the room where it was recorded, having been carefully arranged to those limitations and then left to feel alive. The Deluxe edition makes room for 2 extra unreleased songs, recorded in the same sessions as the album. It also includes some live editions of the record, bringing the songs from the record to life.

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.

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.
