July 12, 2023 On The Road Revisited: Gardener @ Shoebox [original release 16 Mar 2023]
Originally only available on YouTube. East Coast DNA: On The Road now available on all platforms.
Join East Coast DNA co-host Darcy Walsh as he visits Shoebox Cantina, in New Glasgow, Nova Scotia, for a chat with Antigonish based indie rock band Gardener.
Stay until the end of the episode for live performances of their brand new 2023 single Captain and I'm Broke (from their 2022 album Nothing Changes).
Gardener is the garage rock project of Nova Scotian indie-folk musician Landon Morris. Starting in November of 2021, Gardener provided Morris with an outlet to write louder, more experimental music, while still retaining the fundamentals of his solo material - catchy melodies, intricate songwriting, and simple arrangements, met with walls of fuzz and distortion. With a true DIY ethos, the music is recorded on home equipment, often spawned from jam sessions with friends. When playing live, Gardener consists of musicians Nathan Langley (bass), Alasdair Cameron (drums), and Magnus Labillois (lead guitar), while Landon plays rhythm guitar and sings.
With hints of Weezer, Built To Spill, and Alvvays,"Captain" turns the Gardener project into a new direction; stronger melodies, more careful arrangements, and more intricate songwriting. The newest release from the Nova Scotian garage rock project details a dream of being a captain lost at sea, accepting his fate as the waves rise high over the ship, and seeing an apparition of his newly-departed lover in the storm clouds. The song's driving drums, smooth bass, impassioned vocals, jangly lead guitar, and thick walls of fuzz blend together to create a layered song that feels as loud as it does melancholy; but in the waves, making peace with your fate is liberating
