“Do your best to put yourself in someone else’s shoes. Try to see things in different perspectives.”

A different sound can be heard by the Californian duo The Garden Twins, that will release their upcoming single Surprise on the 8th of December via the London based label Luv Luv Luv records. Founded in 2011 by the twin brothers Wyatt and Fletcher Shears, The Garden Twins take some of their inspiration from a background in punk classicism and their sound immediately catches you, not least because when the first sounds appear your ears feel like they need to get used to catching the arrangments of the tunes, but once you are there, you are addicted. They will play 3 UK shows in December and will furthermore support Warpaint on their tour next March. And we had a little chat with them…

How do trends influence your productions?
Trends come and go. I like to take my influence from things that are concrete. Like the sidewalk!

Your music feels so strange and raw. Is this something which can also describe your personality?
I don’t see those traits within myself, but they could be seen from another persons perspective. You never know.

What it’s like being a twin? And what is the best thing about it?
Comfortability.

“Surprise” will be out on 8th December. What fact about you would surprise people?
I have a few pairs of shoes. And a few pairs of socks.

What do you enjoy doing apart of music?
I enjoy playing hockey and riding my bicycle.

Where can we find you on a Friday night?
Somewhere with the Vada clan.

Your best life lesson so far?
Do your best to put yourself in someone else’s shoes. Try to see things in different perspectives.

Where do you see yourself ten years from now?
Hopefully doing something meaningful with my life.

The most important thing in life?
I think that it’s different for everyone. For me, it’s simply being happy and having something to look forward to every week.

Any last words?
I have a long way to go and a lot more to create.
