Gardens and Villa return with breezy new single "Rosie"

Having returned with their first new single in three years last year with "Underneath The Moon", the four-piece are back with a mellow new cut "Rosie".

Speaking about the new release, the band explain, "We started writing this song with a nylon string guitar and an upright piano one day while it was raining outside and we had our big warehouse sliding doors open the rain was flying into our studio, it was kind of a joke but it stuck and we found ourselves humming it every time it rained. However we weren’t able to finish it and the song failed multiple times in the recording phase.. it wasn’t until the massive rains of Jan and Feb 2019 that the song was fully realised. It came fast and from an unconscious place that felt right and warm."

Gardens and Villa had planned to work on new songs with Richard Swift, but before the band could get round to it, Swift passed away.

"Rosie" is one of the songs that they planned for Swift to produce. Gardens and Villa will be heading back in the studio with Foxygen's Jonatha Rado later this year to work on their follow up to 2015's Music For Dogs.
