Garda
ESNS: 2013
You can describe the music of German six-piece band Garda as indiefolk, yet singer Kai Lehmann had a better answer when he was asked to compare new album A Heart Of A Pro with an animal. “A gorilla.” he said, “because it is also huge, sad and hunted.” Garda have made an album that is sometimes huge-sounding, with a dark edge and the scent of danger. Garda are not afraid to use strings and brass, but can also go alt.country when needed. A gorilla to be looked at closely.
