about
Fresh off-the-cob with savoury retro-flavoured good vibes all round.
Featuring Mal Webb & Kylie Morrigan on horns and strings, Alex Burkoy (Tinpan Orange, The Cat Empire) on guitar, Charlie Mgee and Carlien Jeanne on vocals and produced by Melbourne sonic-artisan, Spoonbill, Grow a Garden sounds like it should be the new theme-song for Gardening Australia.
The story of a guy who is infatuated with a girl over her ability to grow fresh produce, Grow a Garden will warm the hearts and minds of every aspiring backyard-farmer, get you boogieing in your overalls and leave you with the kind of satisfaction that comes with eating a fresh-picked strawberry.

lyrics
Whenever I come to see you
I always find you outside
With your hands in the ground
Gettin’ down with anything that grows
And all I want to do is join you
In that morning sunshine
I wanna know, wanna know
How you grow all your vegetables
Cos we’re gonna grow a garden
We’re gonna grow a garden yeah
We’re gonna grow a garden, darling
Yeah
Well, I saved you some seeds from my pumpkins and peas
And I can foresee we’ll get them growing like weeds
We could stay up real late and plant them by the moon
And we’re gonna make everyone jealous
When they see what we’ve got growing on the trellis
It’ll be raining down in our very own food monsoon
Cos we’re gonna grow a garden
We’re gonna grow a garden yeah
We’re gonna grow a garden, darling
Yeah
Yeah, we’re gonna grow a garden
We’re gonna grow a garden yeah
We’re gonna grow a garden, darling
Yeah
When we’ve made our beds, we're gonna raise that veg
Let the chickens out when they’ve laid their eggs
Growin’ asparagus spaghetti squash, strawberries,
Oh we can eat so much from our garden
We’re gonna grow a garden
We’re gonna grow a garden yeah
We’re gonna grow a garden, darling
Yeah
Yeah, we’re gonna grow a garden
We’re gonna grow a garden yeah
We’re gonna grow a garden, darling
Yeah
I always find you outside
With your hands in the ground
Gettin’ down with anything that grows
And all I want to do is join you
In that morning sunshine
I wanna know, wanna know
How you grow all your vegetables
Cos we’re gonna grow a garden
We’re gonna grow a garden yeah
We’re gonna grow a garden, darling
Yeah
Well, I saved you some seeds from my pumpkins and peas
And I can foresee we’ll get them growing like weeds
We could stay up real late and plant them by the moon
And we’re gonna make everyone jealous
When they see what we’ve got growing on the trellis
It’ll be raining down in our very own food monsoon
Cos we’re gonna grow a garden
We’re gonna grow a garden yeah
We’re gonna grow a garden, darling
Yeah
Yeah, we’re gonna grow a garden
We’re gonna grow a garden yeah
We’re gonna grow a garden, darling
Yeah
When we’ve made our beds, we're gonna raise that veg
Let the chickens out when they’ve laid their eggs
Growin’ asparagus spaghetti squash, strawberries,
Oh we can eat so much from our garden
We’re gonna grow a garden
We’re gonna grow a garden yeah
We’re gonna grow a garden, darling

omg, this is awesome! i have been a huge tipper fan a long time, albums like broken soul jamboree & forward escape are rare electronic masterpieces. i have listen to this more than 100 times and i can detect always more layers...so ful of details in the background...a class of it's own, music and production are not from this world!

Magical and timeless all the way through. Favorite track would be The Aubergine of the Sun, except there's that part in the middle of Adrift where you start listening as a human and end up a one-eyed snail scrunching reality up into melting origami puzzles.
