"IN THAT GARDEN"
In That Garden by Sound Oysters is an object lesson in fitting great songwriting into experimental production and genre play. It makes you think, like when you’ve seen a great movie and for days after you are pleasantly moved, perhaps even disturbed. It makes you feel something. There is an arc to this work. Indeed, In That Garden is a concept album in the truest sense. It spirits you away and one may never be quite the same afterwards. But, boy is it FUN. It is an aural escapade, a ‘Through the Looking Glass’ and a ‘WonderLand’ for a new millenium.
The more you listen, the more you get sucked into the Oyster stew. The ingredients include: a wallop of pathos, 4 cups of Beatle juice, a pinch of jangly guitars, an ample amount of psychedelic pop, and a dash of Indian spice to round it all off. The sitars on “The Light That Finds You”, channeling plumes of Nag Champa, will billow from ones speakers. And the harmony vocals by these ‘Sound Oysters’ recall those halcyon days when the Everly's, Lennon/McCartney, and Simon & Garfunkel lifted songs to delerium heights like great melodies always do.
