Eliza & The Delusionals, the Australian indie rock trio who first made waves with their breakthrough hit 'Just Exist', have blossomed beautifully on their sophomore album, 'Make It Feel Like The Garden'. Building on the promise of their impressive 2022 debut, 'Now and Then', the band has crafted an album that retains their signature thoughtful songwriting and knack for melody while pushing their sound in exciting new directions.
Released via Cooking Vinyl, the album was conceived during their 2022 North American tour and completed with the help of producer Oscar Dawson (Holy Holy, Amy Shark). The result is a collection of songs that are more ambient, textured, and subtly experimental than anything they've done before.
While there's still plenty here for fans of their earlier work, with jangling guitar tracks like 'She Sits Up So High' and the title track, the band isn't afraid to take risks. 'I Wanna Love You' features a perfectly matched saxophone, while 'Another You' builds layer upon layer of delightful sound. 'Lately' is a sea of emotion, and "Somebody" pushes the envelope with brilliant use of woodwinds.
'Make It Feel Like The Garden' is an album that refuses to be limited. It's a testament to the band's maturity and willingness to evolve. Just as a garden grows and changes, so too have Eliza & The Delusionals. This album is a testament to their growth, showcasing catchy songs filled with raw emotion and melodies that offer an escape from reality.
With this album, Eliza & The Delusionals have created a sonic landscape that is both refreshing and captivating. They continue to be a beacon of hope for the modern Alternative Rock scene, proving that there's still plenty of room for experimentation and growth within the genre.
If you're looking for an album that ebbs and flows, relaxes and exhilarates, look no further than 'Make It Feel Like The Garden'. It's a must-listen for fans of indie rock and anyone who appreciates thoughtful, well-crafted music.
