We come to you across the forest with messages of alchemy and wisdom. Told in song, such high and mystic things..... "Golden Gardens is the exemplar of dream pop and shoegaze in today’s music. “Between the Siren and the Amulet” is not the replication of music of yesteryears gone by, but rather a relevant collection of music that keeps the tradition of the “album” alive in this post-broadband revolutionized world, while bringing the power of two musical traditions to contemporary audiences in a new and vibrant way. Golden Gardens is one of those truly independent bands that treads where others might not, because it is obvious that they place the emphasis on the artistry of the music, like all those nascent shoegazers of two decades ago. If you are obsessed with dream pop and shoegaze as I am, this is an album you will most definitely treasure. If you have no clue what dream pop or shoegaze is, then take the plunge with this album, suspend your expectations, and lull away an hour to this visceral catharsis." J. Roman Torres, SlowdiveMusic Blog "As it stands, Between the Siren and the Amulet is a strong contender for dreamiest album of the year, and Golden Gardens are a duo smartly using their influences to capture their own distinct brand of melancholy ambiance." Jericho Cerrona, Symbiotic Reviews "Golden Gardens duo Aubrey Rachel Violet Bramble and Gregg Alexander Joseph Neville characterize their sound as “Dreamscapes and Anthems for Magical Minds,” a succinct and fairly apt description for the music the long-distance collaborators release (Bramble and Neville are Seattle- and Florida-based, respectively). Though the group's sound comes out of the dreampop and shoegaze traditions, it's a tad more dreamy than the norm (due in part to a self-professed love for fairy-tale literature, among other things), and consequently “dreamgaze” might serve as the most useful handle, even if phantasmagoric might just as easily spring to mind."
