Go and Ask Peggy for the Principal Thing

Fools Garden

Melodic piano-pop and lush harmonies that feel like a rainy Sunday in 1967. A bittersweet collection of character studies and gentle, guitar-driven Britpop.

September 8, 1997 · Intercord Ton GmbH

A gentle, story-driven collection that balances bright melodies with a pervasive, quiet loneliness.

Moments Worth Listening For
The Beatles-esque string arrangement and McCartney-style bassline on the cover of Martha My Dear
The sudden shift from the observational verses to the soaring, questioning chorus of Emily
The way the piano and gentle vocals create a lullaby-like intimacy on the closing track Good Night
