Sturt Avenue, the Kaurna/Adelaide indie-folk sensation, today unveils their highly anticipated album, ‘Bury Me in the Garden’, a powerful collection of songs that delves into the complexities of love and its inevitable endings.
‘Bury Me in the Garden’ is a musical masterpiece that showcases Sturt Avenue’s versatility. The album seamlessly oscillates between gentle folk ballads and energetic rock anthems, offering a unique listening experience. Its lyrics reflect the search for silver linings in moments of sadness, a testament to the band’s dedication to preserving the beauty of love, even when it must be released.

Already, Sturt Avenue has released several tracks from the album, including ‘Talk’, ‘Best Friend’, ‘Against the World’, and ‘Still in Love’, which have already garnered an enthusiastic following, generating excitement for the full album release. The album was mixed and mastered by Melbourne-based producer Isaac Barter (Didirri, The Maes, and Mick Flannery), his touch adds depth and resonance to the album’s musicality.
The creation of the album was a labor of love, with foundations for many of the songs recorded at Electric Ant Studios in Adelaide and the rest of the instrumentation captured at the band’s home studio in Hawthorndene. Tarn Soden’s vocal parts were even recorded in a van on the southwest coast of Western Australia during a spring trip in 2021, infusing the album with a sense of adventure.
Lead vocalist Bryn Soden shares his unique perspective on the album and its formation: “‘Bury Me in the Garden’ is a collection of songs about the ending of something I once thought would last for my whole life. The songs were mostly written in mid-2020 through early 2021. When it came time to name the album, we struggled to find a name that summarized the mood of the piece, as throughout the process we had tried to shy away from the conventions of a singer-songwriter breakup album. While we wanted a dynamic range that would celebrate and elevate those softer moments, we didn’t want to dwell in the mire of sad acoustic tracks as is so tempting in times such as these. We instead aimed to turn the energy that was inspiring these songs towards a wide range of sounds, pushing the boundaries of what we’d explored before and leaning into what felt good when playing together in the room.”
‘Bury Me in the Garden’ is a moving exploration of love’s intricate journey. It is a reminder of the little worlds we create within relationships and the profound impact they have on our lives. The album encourages reflection, introspection, and the celebration of love in all its forms, past and present.
Sturt Avenue’s ‘Bury Me in the Garden’ is available now on all major streaming platforms.

My nickname is “The Amnplifier”. Why? Because around here my focus is on being a conduit for providing greater outcomes that people come here for. My day to day “work” is living in the moment, and I love helping others concentrate on finding their connection to themselves through their experiences.
Why start a music environment? The truth is I love music, I love writing, and I love life. I work with musicians every day, and I feel certain that I will be until they put me in the ground. I have been managing people in businesses of some sort for over thirty five years so along the way I have developed some “wisdom” from my regular and constant “observations”.
Amnplify your experience. That is what we want you to do here, and if you want to let me know why you do, or don’t, shoot me a message on Facebook.
Hope you enjoy yourself here and find something that hits you somewhere.
