Forgotten Garden explore themes like greed, power and corruption on their absorbing new release ‘Overlord’
Acclaimed for the haunting and atmospheric nature of their distinctive take on post-punk influenced rock, Scottish-Portuguese outfit Forgotten Garden are a unique force in modern music, emphasising lyrical depth and sonic creativity to create a sound that feels impactful in its dark and often poignant nature.
Their upcoming new single ‘Overlord’ is one that feels fiercely appropriate in recent times, exploring the way that riches and power corrupt people with the kind of moody, atmospheric charm that has become their signature. It makes for a track that not only feelings aesthetically pleasing musically, but has a resonating core to it that evokes a bitterness towards those in charge and the ways that they seem to strive to make things worse for everyone but themselves. The powerful nature of the themes is something that leaves a real impression on you as a listener, and the images of somebody being so rich and influential that they feel they’re “above the law” will conjure a range of images of people doing just that in recent times.
