Dr Robert and Matt Deighton come together on The Instant Garden. Every so often an album appears that surprises and delights and somehow defies categorization. Such is The Instant Garden. Dr Robert (The Blow Monkeys) and Matt Deighton (Mother Earth, Oasis) have conjured up a garden full of earthly delights and mysterious depths. It's really unlike anything else. A sonic assortment of open tuned acoustics and ferocious electrics with psychedelic melodies and bellsand bass.
Says Robert: "Matt and I bonded over a mutual love of the same atmospheric jewels…. Fred Neil, Davy Graham, Tyrannosaurus Rex, Nick Drake etc. Matt is an astonishing player too. A proper picker of the highest order. We sat opposite each other and recorded it live at my old friend 'The Ravens" studio up in Angelsey. We disappeared inside the flow and came out 4 days later with an album. Can't wait to play it live!"

Says Matt: "We both found we had many musical influences and references in common from 'Beard Of Stars' to 'Oar' and 'Space Hymns' even, so it was inevitable we'd end up playing these songs sitting facing each other mid summer on a leyline mic'd up live in the back of beyond.
