Blunder Years

Gameboy Girl

Welcome to Garden Island; an envision of mild hallucinations, an indie grunge diet and shitty suburban house parties. Garden Island are a four piece alternative rock band moving out of the bedroom into the living room and now cemented forever in a 5-track compact disc. A combination of songs depicting the learnings and failings of the blunder years, written during those hazy times with a few brief moments of clarity, and perhaps a naive wisdom gifted with a touch of nostalgic hindsight. “They're the quintessential bedroom project. I honestly got visions of them as teenagers in the basement of a house in the suburbs decked out to be a jam space.” (Isolated Nation) After a string of strong summer gigs, including an appearance at the Mojos Rising Band Comp, Garden Island settled in to an autumn of writing and recording, emerging with a set of songs reminiscent of walking home in last night’s clothes with the sun well and truly up, a wistful air of the good times had but a pang of morning reality’s regrets. Dust off and have a listen.
