Our Broken Garden have teamed up with the people at Broken Pixel to create the video for the single ‘Garden Grow’ … a combination of hand made puppets and animation that, to me at least, recalls the settings of an 80’s fantasy movie like the Labyrinth or Dark Crystal. You can make your own judgement below…

Press Quotes

“cinematic and classical, organic and spiritual…it really is a beautiful song, coming off like a pagan prayer while maintaining a futuristic edge…she’s absolutely spellbinding, leading us down a frequently dark path hidden among the brambles and wet grass, far from the city…trust us when we say this record is worth its weight in gold”

Artrocker – 3 stars ***

“eerily beautiful vocals form the heart and soul of their material…heightens the drama and instrumentation…it’s blissfully easy to sink intoGolden Sea’s fantastical atmospheres”

Metro

“Reverberant, electronically augmented sound, more Bjork than The Band…revel in ethereal poignancy…unabashed lyrical melodrama…distilling a distinctly Scandinavian take on matters emotional, somehow poised forever between epiphany and desolation”

MOJO – 4 stars ****

“a record so unassumingly resonant in emotive pull that from the riolling piano of the aptly titled ‘The Departure’ you can’t help but feel a giddying constriction in your chest…a complete uncoupling from everyday senses and a submurging in the most deliciously constructed orchestral-tinged dream-pop since Sigur Ros…this second tide of beauty leaves you simply breathless”

NME – 8/10
