On Bouquet Of Black Orchids album, The Tear Garden have renewed their membership in the ‘if it ain’t broke…’ school of songwriting. While no new The Tear Garden album is in sight, the artist has been road testing new songs during 1993 tour in North America. The Tear Garden had quite a long carriere and they made many hits. The Tear Garden is one of my favourite bands of all time.
The sound in Ophelia is really warm and The Tear Garden’s signature voice is still very much present. Nice and different song. Music of My Thorny Thorny Crown is gentle, never overbearing. The Tear Garden allows each song to breathe and flourish. In White Coats and Haloes The Tear Garden spins a tale you want to hear to the end. The first time I listened to Blobbo I was struck by its gorgeous sound. Sybil The Spider Consumes Himself is possibly the best song The Tear Garden has come up. Voice of The Tear Garden in A Ship Named Despair is honest and guitar work is subtle and poignant. Don’t judge The Center Bullet on the first listening. It’s so catchy, it’s amazing. Oo Ee Oo - The Tear Garden first major hit.
