Veps shares another new taste from their upcoming debut album, Oslo Park to be released November 18th. “A Show of Hands” is streaming everywhere October 28th, and Veps says, “It is a song about loneliness. A tribute to all the people who don’t want the party to end. It’s about wanting to do more than just what you’re used to but feeling like you’re missing a puzzle piece. The narrator of the song is desperately trying to get the others to understand that this is not the time to go home.”

The Cutting Garden was written throughout 2021, and assembled in their respective homes in isolation, eventually finished at Trout Recording in Brooklyn in the fall. Each of these songs lives in its own dimension, but there’s a symbiosis between them. “The EP is titled The Cutting Garden because we love the idea of a garden filled with beautiful flowers, grown solely for the purpose of being cut one day. There’s a surreal yet ordered aspect to such a natural place, and I think these songs share a similar vibe.”

NYC indie rock quartet Diary announces new digital EP The Cutting Garden for October 14th on Kanine Records, with new single Plant Life streaming everywhere today. Diary says, “Plant Life is a song about the latest hours of the night when the time slips and everything seems to melt into the floor.”   With this record, Diary intentionally shifted towards fuzzier, woozier music. The result is four dreamy pop tracks that feel both larger, warmer, and familiarly psychedelic. Touchstones include Stereolab, Dinosaur Jr, Teenage Fanclub, Suede and even 60s artists like The Byrds and Donovan.
