Forgotten Garden are an Indie Rock band (duo+guests) with dark/gothic post-punk tendencies. Occasionally they also wander from the path of post-punk righteousness into more acoustic territory. The haunting vocals are provided by Inês whilst Danny plays most of the instruments. Danny lives in the north of Scotland whilst Inês lives in Portugal. They started working together in 2019.
The Broken Pieces EP that dropped in September 2020 was Forgotten Garden's first release. It contains four tracks based around the theme of a relationship breakdown. Angry Baby blog said of it "The band’s first release sounds anything but; the four tracks zing with gorgeous pop lines accompanied by folk, rock and dream pop tones, whilst Ines’ vocals turn chameleon like from ethereal to earthy in a heartbeat.
On 29th March 2024 we released our second EP "In Memoriam". The four songs on "In Memoriam" are based around the themes of passing, loss and grief. The Indie Grid called the EP "a thing of fragile and transient beauty"
Besides releasing two well received EP's we also released eight singles between 2020 and 2025.
Then In January 2026 we released our 9th single "Overlord" which has since featured consistently in Spotify's Discover Weekly . It was described by It's All Indie blog as "a darkly melodic indie-pop gem blending haunting synths, playful vocals and cinematic vibes”
On 29th May we will be releasing our 10th single which is called “Rain”. Teco Apple said “Rain” delivers a mesmerizing atmosphere built around striking guitars, pulsing beats, and hazy synth lines that drift beautifully through the arrangement, creating a deeply melancholic landscape.”
The music of Forgotten Garden is mostly inspired by post-punk bands such as The Cure , The Smiths, Joy Division and Scottish folk music. Inês's vocals are influenced by some of her favourite artists like Florence Welch, Lana Del Rey, Chelsea Wolfe, Weyes Blood, Kelsey Lu and Warpaint.
