For Sale

Fools Garden

Polished piano-pop with a melancholic German soul. Lush harmonies and 1960s-inspired melodies mask surprisingly heavy, introspective storytelling.

Find on Amazon

It's like finding a lost Beatles record produced in the late 90s by a band that's a little bit sad.

A polished, melodic exterior that slowly reveals a heart of profound, wistful melancholy.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The way the piano hook in 'Suzy' builds into a lush, theatrical chorus that feels both grand and intimate.
The jarring shift in 'In the Name' where the gentle melody contrasts with the heavy, disturbing narrative of the lyrics.
The final fading harmonies of 'Happy' that leave a lingering sense of unresolved sadness despite the upbeat title.
