The Netherlands (1985 – present)

The Tear Garden was formed by Edward Ka-Spel of The Legendary Pink Dots and cEvin Key of Skinny Puppy in 1985, after Key served as sound engineer for Ka-Spel’s Canadian tour. Various other “guests” from Skinny Puppy and the Pink Dots appear on future albums The band released EPs in 1985 and 1986, combined on 1987’s full length, Tired Eyes Slowly Burning. Their debut was their most electronic and mixed together the psychedelic, experimental, and industrial sounds each band was known for. Later albums veer more into the space rock style of the Pink Dots. Their most recent release from 2002, Eye Spy With My Little Eye, is a collection of out-takes from the mid-80s period.

Currently, Edward and cEvin wrapped up their sessions of 13 tracks, compiled into a brand new upcoming TG release, available through Subcon.

I really don't see the point in torturing myself to decide which album I dig the most. "You and Me and Rainbows" is a brilliant track. I remember driving around aimlessly until it finished so as not to interrupt it one time. I have really gotten into R.Moore's TCDSS project. There is an amazing amount of talent in those two core bands.

@jbsbbtk is absolutely correct... not only is 'in search of my rose' amazing; but lets also know that, so is 'You and Me and Rainbows'! ... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sPm-1YMSyOM <3<3

Asked Cevin about the possibility of more material while he was doing a DJ gig in Vancouver recently. He said they have new material set to be released shortly on Subconscious!

I enjoy listening to the Tear Garden more than SP or LPD. Does it make them more talented? No. Does it make them better in my head? Yes.

wow fuck myself, good one. they can be compared because they not only "different elements" but comparable similarities; i have something called a "preference", and mine just so happens to be for the tear garden.

better? why skinny puppy could be better than lpd? or lpd better than skinny puppy? fuck yourself, both are great bands. The tear garden is another great band, those three bands got different elements, that's why they couldn't be compared.
