Following a duo of single releases back in 2025, Forgotten Garden return with their first cut of the year. "Overlord" is one of those classic indie-pop tracks that instantly hits you with haunting melodies. You could say this is more towards the realm of dark-pop, but the playful vocals really helps to bring the track into life.
...a darkly melodic indie-pop gem blending haunting synths, playful vocals, and cinematic vibes.
The song has a sweeping array of synths and lively piano bits on it to give "Overlord" a subtle shimmering sheen to it. Based between Inverness and Portugal, the band blends melodic and dark tones found in tracks by The Cure with pop-driven vocals echoing Lana Del Rey.
"Overlord" is once more a great example of why the band has over 17k monthly listeners, as the quality of music that they release is always exceptional. So do yourself a favour and follow them before their tracks start hitting into the millions.
