"Close your eyes and drift away with Things Of That Nature, the latest single from Common Hours (aka Portland’s own adam black). This ethereal soundscape is everything you want in an indie pop anthem – tender vocals that caress your ears, acoustic guitar and piano weaving a warm tapestry, and subtle electronic flourishes that add a touch of modern mystique.  Black’s songwriting is the star here. Deep, yet relatable lyrics glisten and the tender embrace of the acoustic guitar and piano is a masterclass in creating a lush sonic landscape." - Neon Music

Shade Garden is a brand new art-pop project created by producer J.M. Long out of Portland, Oregon. His first single Out of My Way is somehow both haunting and lighthearted, with melancholic vocals sitting on top of a danceable groove. 

In the process of bringing Shade Garden to life, Long combined his many talents of Songwriter, Producer, and Mixing Engineer. He played every instrument on the track except for live drums, which were crafted by sensational drummer and longtime friend David Myers Jr.

Long spent the summer quarantine of 2020 obsessing over Shade Garden in pursuit of an entirely fresh sound, not unlike the creative process of Tame Impala’s Kevin Parker. Out of My Way effectively presents a first taste of SG, leaving you equally satisfied and hungry for more.
