Absolutely Yours - “Walked in the Garden”
Minneapolis-based Absolutely Yours has just released the bewitching dream pop track, “Walked in the Garden.” The song walks the same path of acts like Alvvays or early Grimes in creating immersive, breezy, and buoyant melodies in which listeners can completely lose themselves.
“Walked in the Garden” is pushed along by a steady drum groove and warm bass tones that create a captivating indie pop/ rock foundation for this dreamy and highly reflective number. An immersive atmosphere is painted by the gorgeous layers of electric guitar that roll, groove, float, and melt across the composition. The vibes are effortlessly traditional dream pop.
Over the top of the wonderfully longing musical layers is a strikingly gentle and haunting vocal. The breathy performance is notably tinged with a yearning melancholy. The use of a lush layer of reverb gives a real weight and depth to the performance. Lyrically, “Walked in the Garden” is full of insightful reflections and storytelling. They express the will to keep going forward, even when you find yourself stumbling over obstacles.
“Walked in the Garden” is exquisitely introspective, hazy, and breezy. The track is the lead single from Absolutely Yours’ new album, Mirror Maze, which is now available everywhere:
