about

"With Garden Variations, Cory Fay invites listeners into a fairy tale Old Testament Western where devils, witches and gunslingers share feelings of heartache and regret. Equally gifted with a pen as with a guitar (and indeed every instrument on the album, save a few guest spots), Fay forages into new territory on track after track. On this first solo album, Fay reinvents familiar characters and unveils new perspectives to flesh out his conceptual world. Whilst flitting from one musical style to another with panache, Fay manages to hold everything together with ease. The ideas seem to come so rapidly for Fay that he rarely repeats a chorus or a line, and when one might expect a triumphant refrain, Fay instead opts to cut a song short and move into the next piece. Sounding like Harry Nilsson one minute, and Modest Mouse the next, Montana-born Fay might be compared to Father John Misty, but dares to get weirder faster."
