The latest album from Pete Cautious is a carefully crafted 10-piece release. It has left me speechless with subliminal messages, such as from the song βLove Wonβt Pay The Bills,β βDamn right, Florida Man! Thanks for the wakeup call!
Anyway, the album starts off with a jolly ride, Peteβs strong yet chill vocals and an impressive range of guitar sounds and percussions. After experiencing this delight, βFantasyβ and βChange Your Mindβ will both be pleasant tracks hinting decade nostalgia coming your way. If you ever wanted to experience an abduction, the albumβs self-titled track βGarden of the Godsβ is a wondrous piece. Having you dance to its number, βOld Boyβ is a club staple with its incredible instrumental magic. Tapping into diversity, thereβs a jazz-like rendition in βSleepless After Midnightβsβ saxophone that blooms into an outer space intermission.
One of my favorite soundscapes from this album were βSundropsβ which had eerie vocals and sprinkles of synth waves. It is a pure form of psychedelic art that Iβd like to experience again for the first time ever. βThe Magic Fadesβ speaks romantically to me for its calm play and vocal delivery, but I think if you were about to call it a night, this is the perfect song to end with. The EP closes off with a somber mix of instrumental bliss, particularly featuring the piano along with kick drum and a multilayered backing vocal. And as the music fades, you can give into the high and drift to your own La La Land.
