Experimentation is the basis for the creation of new amazing things. It allows us to explore new ideas and concepts, giving us the ability to push the boundaries of what is possible. An invaluable tool for discovering new paths to success and creating a more innovative world.
Our friend Linda Gardens is no stranger to this theory. Her music is already well known for pushing the limits of the electronic genres, perfectly mixing electronica, psychedelic, and pop, creating a sound you haven't heard before. Wielding her powerful vocals and captivating songwriting, Linda Gardens crafts a singular soundscape. Surreal melodies harmonize with electrifying rhythms, brought to life by her production and video direction.
"Fate Delay," Linda Gardens' new musical offering, explores the path to enlightenment, creating an out-of-this-realm experience through seven interesting and introspective songs, each showcasing a different facet of her unique style.
The introductory tune "From Here" is an immediate standout. The song washes over the listener, offering a glimpse into Linda Gardens' ability to evoke emotion through her unconventional music. The peculiar rhythm perfectly complements the unreal vocal work. The title track "Fate Delay" shines as another spectacular blend of pop and 90s electronica. Linda Gardens' talent for crafting catchy melodies and compelling lyrics truly shines through in this powerful masterpiece.
“‘Fate Delay’ is the manifestation of a dream, despite the truth of circumstances. It is an expression of reality, existential observations, and where I find my place within it all. It is a comment on our collective awareness within society, our own lives, and how we chose to react to this consciousness.” – Linda Gardens
"Identity" and "Property" are two sides of the same coin, contrasting experimental with more traditional electro-pop. The final track, "Masochism," takes a sharp turn into industrial territory, a fittingly discordant note. “Unconventional” would be a great word to describe not only this song but the entire album, which is great because the world needs more artists expressing their true nature without society pushing them to the norm. A reminder that artistic expression thrives outside the box.
“This album poses more questions than it answers, and I believe it places the listener in a state of contention, which is ultimately what I felt as I was writing, recording, and producing it. Creating it was an exercise in moving forward in discomfort, with a sense of internal trust as a guiding force. Ultimately, fate will prevail, but in its own time and in its own inexplicable way. In succumbing to these feelings of conflict, I have realized my fate. At its broadest points, 'Fate Delay' is a musical journey asking the questions of its listener, ‘What does it mean to allow or control one's own fate?’” – Linda Gardens
Across the board, "Fate Delay" is a breath of fresh air. If you're looking for something different, this will definitely be down your alley.
