GARBAGE & THE FLOWERS, THE - Alamo Rose

Garbage & the Flowers first vinyl release in a dozen or so years finds their course steady, still crafting fragile melodies and harmonies wrapped in an intimate fidelity on their own timetable. Certainly things have changed since the mid-90s they operate out of Australia now, not New Zealand but their songwriting and fuzzed out folk atmosphere sound just as good as ever. The scales in Alamo Rose" wind around measured rhythms and hiss, leaving you wishing for one more go around of the refrain before the song crumbles on the turntable." - Skulltones.
