The Garden, delivering a unique blend of experimental rock, punk influences, and electronica, presents a mesmerising experience, both in sound and visual representation. Comprised of twin brothers Wyatt and Fletcher Shears, the band continuously thrills the industry with its peculiar and avant-garde style. Initiated in 2011, this Orange County duo epitomised the essence of unpredictability, making a considerable impact within the indie music industry, reflecting not just in their genre-morphing sound, but in their eclectic range of intriguing music videos.
One of their most enticing videos is “All Access”, directed by Michael Hili, who accentuates the raw and rebellious vibe of the band. In this noir-esque video, the brothers are portrayed engaging in various acts of mischief within an amusement park, meticulously embodying the pure, unadulterated ethos of punk culture while encapsulating their resolute individualism. For a bit of backstage info, during the shooting of this video, they weren't actually granted any kind of "all access" at all, leading to some particularly spontaneous moments captured on the roller coaster. On another note, their video for "Call This # Now," is a stark distinction, focusing on a surreal montage of the duo performing while enigmatic characters join them; all this incorporated within compellingly bizarre visuals. Interestingly, the mysterious telephone number whispered throughout the song was not, as some fans speculated, a line to another dimension, but the personal phone number of the artist’s friend, who was less than thrilled with the sudden influx of bewildering calls.
In a 'do it yourself' fashion, the Shears brothers also direct many of their videos, fusing their unapologetic artistic vision and auditory sensibility into a holistic representation of their distinct brand, in turn, defining The Garden not just as a band, but as a true artistic endeavour.
