This long-lost final release from the cult post-punk outfit \u003cstrong\u003eNew Math\u003c\/strong\u003e is now remastered and widely available.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis expanded reissue restores the band’s moody, genre-defying swan song that never had its proper moment. Originally intended for release in 1984, the New York-based indie label Brain Eater Records folded just before the album’s release, leaving shrink-wrapped copies stranded in boxes and never shipped to stores.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhile some copies reached U.S. college radio stations, most fans never had the opportunity to hear or purchase the full album. \u003cem\u003eNew Math\u003c\/em\u003e's \u003cem\u003eGardens\u003c\/em\u003e is a moody, gothic-laced, Neo-Psych, synth-tinged cinematic, genre-bending farewell recorded during a moment of creative reinvention.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAfter turning down a modest major label offer from Columbia Records in early 1983, the group doubled down on their vision. Trading in the power-pop of early single \"\u003cem\u003eDie Trying\u003c\/em\u003e\" and the polished new wave aesthetic of the previous release’s \"\u003cem\u003eThey Walk Among You\u003c\/em\u003e,\" the band pursued something more introspective and surreal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAfter a tour supporting the Psychedelic Furs and inspired by Kenneth Anger films and American Gothic imagery, \u003cem\u003eGardens\u003c\/em\u003e was recorded at PCI Studios in Rochester and captures a haunted, transitional moment as the band unraveled and reshaped itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis Expanded Edition of \u003cem\u003eGardens\u003c\/em\u003e includes: All 8 original tracks, fully remastered and 5 bonus tracks: including 4 live recordings from Rochester’s punk Mecca Scorgies. The release also marks the beginning of the group’s transformation into The Jet Black Berries, whose track \"\u003cem\u003eLove Under Will\u003c\/em\u003e\" (first heard here) went on to appear on the iconic Return of the Living Dead soundtrack.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Propeller Sound Recordings","offers":[{"title":"LP - Neon Green","offer_id":52879638626635,"sku":"R6267-5283","price":32.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"CD","offer_id":52879638659403,"sku":"R6267-5959","price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/201375051556_694c3ab4-1ed5-4102-a5f4-34948df9c6c2.jpg?v=1752240480","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/fr\/products\/gardens","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
