The Garden – Haha (Staff Pick)
@POWERPLANTRECORDS | PowerPlantRecords.com | Leave a positive Google review!
Title: The Garden - Haha
Year/Genre/Sub-Genre/City: 2015, Alternative, Art Punk Experimental Rock, Orange, California 8/26
Condition: New (BC) | Members: Wyatt S (93' - ), Fletcher S (93' - ) | Producer: Rob Schnapf
Cultural Facts:
-
Family Ties: Wyatt and Fletcher Shears are twin brothers who grew up in a musical Orange County household where their father played in a local punk band and instruments were always around. That family environment gave two kids permission to treat music less like a career choice and more like something they could invent for themselves. (The New Yorker)
-
Fun Fact: Before Haha, the twins unexpectedly became fashion models for Hedi Slimane and Yves Saint Laurent, walking into the high-fashion world while still making bizarre DIY punk. They never treated modeling as their identity, keeping fashion and The Garden's music as separate creative outlets. (Gigslutz)
-
Studio Lore: Haha was recorded over an extended period because The Garden were touring so heavily, with producer Rob Schnapf helping the twins shape the record. It was also where their growing interest in electronic production became much more obvious, pushing their punk foundation toward the anything-goes philosophy they call “Vada Vada.” (daily.bandcamp.com)
