Golden Gardens Craft a Swirly Spell at the Sunset Sunday Night

On Sunday, April 28th, local music label Neon Sigh hosts another neon pop bill. Golden Gardens headlines the set with Nostalgist, Snowdrift, and The Echo Echo Echoes. Doors at 7:30 p.m. at The Sunset Tavern in Ballard, 5433 Ballard Ave NW, $6 cover.

Stirred together, the members of Seattle’s Golden Gardens are a double-helix of fuzzy, milky, dreamy shoegaze splendor. Aubrey Rachel Violet Bramble (vocals) and Gregg Alexander Joseph Neville (guitar, drums, and effects) have some magical new melodies up their sleeves that they can’t wait to share. They’ll premiere tunes from an EP to be released in early June.

Also gracing the stage, with sultry haunt rock, noirgaze, and ambient surf pop, are Snowdrift, Nostalgist, and The Echo Echo Echoes — respectively. Come out and sway.

If you prefer couch-potato sweatpants Sundays, you’ll have another chance to slather your ears in Golden Gardens’ ganache next month. They play the Columbia City Theatre with Tokyoidaho on Friday, May 17th. Rumor has it there’s going to be a ticket giveaway.
