Reviews and Comments

carpetgarden (they/them) release their new single ‘da da song’ today via House Anxiety - home to Abbie Ozard, and responsible for launching the careers of King Krule, Bad Boy Chiller Crew, Courtney Barnett and more. It comes ahead of the WTF Is Even Going On? EP on November 18th.

AKA David Sweet, the Fresno, California native fuses bedroom-pop with Lo-Fi indie and beatsy R&B to produce an engaging, impish sound. Taken together with lyrics that tackle growing up and embracing their non-binary identity via personal anecdotes that entwine with explorations of gender dysphoria, carpetgarden has begun to resonate on a truly impactful scale.

10s of millions of plays across streaming sites, and over 100k followers combined across Instagram and TikTok point to their relatable button-pushing persona both on record and online.

‘da da song’ continues carpetgarden’s penchant for mixing whimsical optimism and crushing reality in their garage-pop potions, as David explains:

‘This song is a really gay love song for my partner :) I reference a lot of the little moments of my life that became more important once I had someone to share them with. My favorite part of the song is when it goes super distorted and almost overwhelmingly loud, just because falling in love can be overwhelming.’

The single follows other EP cuts ‘IDC’ - a Gen Z pop-punk answer to The Beach Boys - and introspective ‘mold’. The modern genreless costume-switching across - and oftentimes within - songs highlights their chameleonic attitude to pop, whilst retaining a distinguishable through-line anchoring it in David’s world.

Part of a burgeoning clique of buzzy West Coast artists including Scruffpuppie (Secretly Canadian), Sophie Meiers (RCA), and CMTEN (Warner) a spirit of community pervades carpetgarden’s approach to their music. This extends to working with producer Luca Buccellati, whose credits include Arlo Parks, HMLTD and Hazel English.

UK press has been really supportive throughout their growth, with LGBTQ+ and subculture publications in Attitude and BRICKS championing, as well as top indie titles such as DIY, DORK, Loud & Quiet, Clash.
