   About Parks and Gardens

Parks and Gardens - Avec Cloture

Parks and Gardens may be a new band, but the members have been around for quite some time. Andrew Duncan was a founding member of Chicago treadmill heroes OK Go. Nathan Tucker and Joshua Davison comprised the underground electronic duo String Theory.

Their hybridized pop combines equal parts hook-happy guitar rock and cerebral IDM, thick with vocal harmony and synthesized counterpoint melody. It's smart and clever, but still unafraid to let loose with a bombastic guitar solo between verses. The result of this peanut-butter-in-my-chocolate fusion of pop and electronica is delightfully unexpected -- splitting the difference perfectly between the robotic precision of sequenced computer music and the warmth and familiarity of vocal-driven pop.

Their debut album, Avec Cloture, was recorded and produced by the band and showcases their balance of intelligent songwriting, infectious melody and baroque, futuristic production.

    Me and Adamn DJ a metal night at Club Foot here in Chicago. We'll be playing all the bestest Thrash, Death, Stoner, Grind, Doom, D-Beat, Black Metal and more.

    Is there really a better way to celebrate Christmas than by drinking a ton of beer and listening to a ton of sacrilegious and satanic music? I seriously doubt it.

    Oh I'll make you famous. I'll send an MP3 of "Lillian" to the producers of "Gossip Girl" or something and they'll play it during a sappy romantic scene and you will be, like, TOTES famous with The Kids These Days. You're that good.
