DOWNLOAD: Gardens – Maze Time
Gardens, a wonderfully psychedelic band from sorrowful Detroit, make crunchy guitar rock that has all the grit and attitude of their hometown (a place that the New York Times has the tendency to compare to Rome after the Visigoth’s sacking if you’re wondering just how much grit exactly). “Maze Time,” off their self-titled debut, out May 10 on Alive Records, is bluesy guitar rock that is at times as sugary as Motown (the spelled-out chorus, “M-A-Z-E T-I-M-E!”), at others as aggressive as Iggy Pop. We’re not exactly sure what a “maze time” entails, but with Gardens playing, it sounds like it will be wild.
