Our Broken Garden

Following in the footsteps of Beach House, OUR BROKEN GARDEN are Bella Union’s next act to make a
great artistic leap with their new album - “GOLDEN SEA”

Hailing from Denmark, Our Broken Garden is the sound of sometime Efterklang keyboardist Anna
Bronsted’s bewitching voice and songs plus assorted musical friends. Our Broken Garden’s debut
album, “When Your Blackening Shows”, arrived in September 2008 and signalled Anna’s connection to
water with various nautical references in her lyrics, and a deeply atmospheric, drifting ebb and flow to
the sound - with a serene, torchy Anna resembling a modern day siren at its heart.

“Golden Sea” is a substantial step forward. There’s more drama and rhythm this time round and
Anna’s song-writing has evolved significantly… ‘In The Lowlands’ has an overriding sense of blissed-
out serenity sense while ‘Nightsong’ is more haunted. ‘Share’ and ‘Warriors Of Love’ are more typically
dreamy numbers before the devastating finale ‘The Dark Red Roses’ where mournful strings preface
one of Anna’s most haunting vocals…

Like the golden sea that names Our Broken Garden’s new album, their music is wide and deep,
beautiful and mysterious…
