Southern California band The Garden have announced their new album, Horses on Route 66, due out September 8th.
The album marks twin brothers Wyatt & Fletcher Shears first independent release since a run of critically acclaimed records with Epitaph, and their most blistering collection yet. Lead single "Orange County Punk Rock Legend" combines sunny guitars and bit-crushed drums over a snarling hook.
The song "was written in the back of an old restaurant called Yang Ming" explains Wyatt, "I decided to write it after being slapped by the old cook." The video finds the band in full jester attire, ripping it up at the skatepark while a towering clown looms in the background. PAPER Magazine described called it "as playful as it is nihilistic" in their premiere of the video. It is quintessential for the singular duo, and you can see it all play out below.
In support of the album, The Garden will bring their legendary live show on a massive run of U.S. tour dates that includes a festival appearance at When We Were Young in Las Vegas.
"Orange County Punk Rock Legend" is preceded by the viciously catchy "Freight Yard," released in May.
