Scottish-Portuguese indie outfit Forgotten Garden deliver a powerful indictment of modern society with 'Civilisation', an emotionally charged new single that confronts political corruption, environmental destruction and the growing uncertainty surrounding humanity's future.
Blending the brooding atmospheres of classic post-punk with the melodic sophistication of contemporary indie-pop, the track captures the frustration and disillusionment of a generation increasingly concerned about the direction of the world.
From the erosion of democracy and escalating international conflicts to the climate crisis and political dishonesty, 'Civilisation' tackles some of society's most pressing concerns through deeply personal and uncompromising songwriting.
Drawing inspiration from The Cure, Joy Division and The Smiths, alongside the haunting vocal sensibilities of Lana Del Rey, Florence Welch and Chelsea Wolfe, the duo combine emotional vulnerability with a darker, more confrontational musical identity.
