GARDEN STREET: THE DOWNSIDE
TRACK LIST:
Listen on:
“Settle in the space between, It’s where the flowers like to grow.”
Exploring the complexity of life choices, Garden Street challenges any clear line between generalities, inner truth and self doubt. Suspended, Fenzi peers into a looking glass, exploring the possibility that what we believe to be legitimate and authentic, may not be so. While inviting his listeners on a journey of introspection, Fenzi fosters an ongoing curiosity and examination of the emotional disunion we often find ourselves in with his new, upcoming dual-album release.
Taking the listener one step farther along a pictorial musical path that explores the duality of life, Fenzi reaches for the rich fabric of diversity, dissonance, harmony and the thin line we all walk between The Upside and The Downside. In Warren's words, "If I had to choose one goal for this entire project, it would be to hopefully inspire others to try their best to look at every situation from as many perspectives as possible. At a day-in-age where people seem so divided, the lure to point fingers and lay the blame on others is at an all time high. I honestly believe the sooner each of us can start to truly own our own actions on a regular basis, the sooner things will get better for all of us. Nothing is black and white... even though I'm constantly trying to make this so...it all just depends on how you look at it."
With each song from both projects being released singularly, Fenzi underscores his distinct style of songwriting. As a multi-instrumentalist, he continues his explorations in sound with what has become his unique approach to cinematic, musical storytelling.
