this one feels like memory rising up through the mist – recorded in a freezing welsh cottage, but burning with warmth, ‘you are the darkness after my dawn’ is raw and real, and we love it.

Liverpool-based secret garden gathering return after 13 quiet years with a sound evolved. the live setting gives it a kind of reality that helps it get the meaning across.

best of all, there’s a stunning, almost cocteau-twins like chorus but folk tinge that i absolutely love. it doesn’t feel really polished, it’s without pretence and it’s all the better for it. lets not wait another 13 years guys for the next one 🙂

thank u for making this secret garden gathering 🌲
