The album features an impressive array of guest musicians, including UK guitar maestro Henry Parker, trad folk sensation Angeline Morrison, multi-instrumentalist and producer Tali Trow, and visionary artist, poet, and singer David Tibet. The result is a richly textured and deeply moving album that defies time and trends.
The songs on “Walk to Paradise Garden” were written during a period of great personal turmoil for Trappist Afterland’s Cole, who made monthly trips to visit his mother as she struggled with dementia.
Musically, the album is a stunning example of folk music’s ability to evoke emotions and paint vivid pictures. From the hauntingly beautiful melodies to the lyrics, every element of this album comes together to create a truly unforgettable listening experience.
Standout tracks include the title song, “Walk to Paradise Garden”, which features a soaring vocal performance and a sweeping instrumental arrangement. Other highlights include the deeply personal “Evergreen”, which emits Cole’s ability to craft lyrics that are both deeply personal and universally relatable.
